Megan holds a DPhil in Theoretical Physics from the University of Oxford, which she completed on a Rhodes Scholarship, in addition to a BSc in Astrophysics with first class honours and a Masters in Physics, both from the University of Alberta in Canada. Her multidiscplinary interests have yielded diverse publications, including physics education research papers and book reviews in Science magazine, and she has worked in both experimental and theoretical capacities. Megan is currently a Killam postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alberta, where she continues to use coarse-grained modelling to explore how biological systems exploit physical laws.
