Arthur Beckinsdale was born in 1981 in Norwich, England, and studied physics at the University of Manchester before completing a doctorate in condensed matter theory. He worked in quantum optics research in Vancouver from 2009 to 2015, then shifted to science communication and consulting for emerging computing startups across the UK. His short fiction and essays have appeared in small press anthologies and science magazines, often exploring the intersections of music, mathematics, and identity. Beckinsdale lives in Glasgow with his partner and a retired greyhound, and he volunteers as a community orchestra cellist.
