Dr. Stephen Webb is the Head of Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Portsmouth in the UK. Dr. Webb studied physics at the University of Bristol in England and went on to gain a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Manchester. He is well known for his work on the Fermi paradox, and his TED talk exploring the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence has been viewed more than 6 million times. Stephen is also a lifelong fan of science fiction and serves on the editorial board of Springer’s “Science and Fiction” book series. His favorite author is Isaac Asimov, and he is the proud owner of over 500 of Asimov’s books.
