Michael Aaron Nielsen (born January 4, 1974) is a writer living just outside Toronto, Canada[3]. Before, he was an academic in physics. He worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, as the Richard Chace Tolman Prize Fellow at Caltech, was Foundation Professor of Quantum Information Science and a Federation Fellow at the University of Queensland, and a Senior Faculty Member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Nielsen obtained his PhD in physics in 1998 at the University of New Mexico[1]. With Isaac Chuang he is the co-author of a popular textbook on quantum computing.[4]

In 2007, Nielsen announced a marked shift in his field of research: from quantum information and computation[4][5] to “the development of new tools for scientific collaboration and publication”.[6] This work includes "massively collaborative mathematics" projects like the Polymath project with Timothy Gowers.[7] His book Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science, published by Princeton University Press, was released in October 2011[8]. This book is based on themes that are also covered in his essay on the Future of Science[9]. Besides writing books and essays, he also gives talks about Open Science[10].

He is a member of the Working Group on Open Data in Science at the Open Knowledge Foundation.[11]
