Doctor Tobias Fleming Shaw[1] ScD, QeD, FRS, along with Doctor Wallace Fujikawa, was the co-creator of the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine in 2291. This device that allowed humanity to reach locations beyond the solar system through manipulation of Slipstream Space.[2]
He held the title "Doctor of Science" and was renowned for his work in the field of quantum electrodynamics.
He was likely from the United Kingdom as he held the title of Fellow of the Royal Society, a distinction awarded to British and Irish scientists.[3]
Trivia
- Shaw's first name, Tobias, may be a reference to Tobias S. Buckell, who was hired to write Halo: The Cole Protocol around the time the name was revealed.[4]
