University of Bristol

The University of Bristol is a public research university in Bristol, England, and in this atlas it stands as an institution where computing researchers have studied and worked. Its source article records that it received a royal charter in 1909 and that its roots lie in University College, Bristol, established in 1876, with the medical school, founded in 1833, merged into the college in 1893. The university is organised into three academic faculties made up of many schools and departments, largely in the Tyndall's Park area of the city. It belongs to the Russell Group of research-intensive British universities, the Coimbra Group and the Worldwide Universities Network, and the article counts 13 Nobel laureates among its alumni and faculty. For computing history it matters as the home of the Centre for Quantum Photonics, where Jeremy O'Brien directed work on optical quantum computing before co-founding PsiQuantum.
