Cohl Furey

[4] She was a research fellow at the University of Cambridge's Trinity Hall from 2016 to 2019[5] and spent a few months at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cape Town.

Her work focuses on finding an underlying mathematical structure to the Standard Model of particle physics.

[7][8][9] She has worked on attempting to obtain the Standard Model of particle physics from octonionic constructions.

The math also suggests a reason why electric charge is quantized in discrete units — essentially, because whole numbers are.

"[2] In 2022 together with Mia Hughes, she linked the symmetry breaking in physics to division algebras including octonions.
