Shaun Agata Pexton
United Kingdom
Shaun enjoys exploring the intersections of music, science and sports. He credits his love of jazz to his interest in connecting jazz improvisation to quantum mechanics. In the future, he wants to use quantum technologies to develop solutions to the world’s problems. Service has also been a key part of his life, from authoring guides for asylum seekers to training to swim the English Channel in support of the Young Minds mental health charity. For his Rise project, Shaun created an online platform that connects young volunteers with charities.
