From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Human Character Infobox Dr. Tobias Fleming Shaw[1] ScD, QeD, FRS, along with Dr. Wallace Fujikawa, was the co-creator of the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine in 2291, the first device that allowed humanity to reach space locations beyond their solar system.[2]
He held the title "Doctor of Science" and was renowned for his work in the field of quantum electrodynamics.
Plaque Quote:
"The Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine became a reality in April 2291 due entirely to vision, perseverance, and dedication of these two pioneers in quantum engineering and applied theoretical physics. They have opened a path to the stars for all of us." --Memorial plaque on Quito Space Tether.
Trivia
- He was also 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]
- 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]
