Early life and education

Price attended Malvern St James for high school and completed sixth form in Italy.^[1] She studied natural sciences at the University of Cambridge. She remained in Cambridge for her doctoral research, where she studied topological phenomena in ultracold gases.^[2] At Cambridge she was Captain of the competitive Wine Tasting Society.^[1] After Cambridge she became interested in photonics and quantum optics, and completed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship at the Pitaevskii Center on Bose-Einstein Condensation in the University of Trento. In Trento she studied quantum phenomena using ultracold atoms, including the Quantum Hall effect.^[3]

Research and career

In 2017 Price joined the University of Birmingham. Her research considers materials for quantum technologies, including ultracold atomic gases and topological systems. She combines photonics and quantum optics to simulate and understand quantum phenomena.^[4]
