Biography #
Sophie is of mixed Indian and French descent and holds a PhD in archaeology. Her work focuses on "Quant" rigor: measuring the precise curvature of ceramics to the millimeter. She was the first person at the site to notice the "Frankenstein effects" of the temporal interference, flagging that the statistical distribution of soot and artifacts in Sector 4 was "mathematically offensive" and defied all established trends.
