Oscar Dahlsten is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Oxford.

He did his Undergraduates and PhD at Imperial College London. Since then he has been at ETH and NUS Singapore. He taught 2/3 of the Advanced Solid State course to 40+ graduate students at NUS in the spring 2011. Presently he is moreover a [https://www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/oscar-dahlsten Research Fellow of Wolfson College] and a [http://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/node/543 Lecturer for St Catherine's College].

He researches the foundations of quantum theory and statistical mechanics. He looks for better ways of understanding quantum phenomena, often from a quantum information theory perspective. He is one of the pioneers of a new type of statistical mechanics called single-shot statistical mechanics where one focusses on guaranteed behaviours rather than average behaviours, a distinction which is particularly important in nano and quantum regimes.
