Cam holds an MPhys in Theoretical Physics from the University of Edinburgh, wherein he combined infectious disease models with fluid dynamics to examine the validity of wastewater-based epidemiology as a method of passively monitoring the prevalence of COVID-19 in an urban population.

Cam joined iGGi in 2023 to explore the relationship between video games and physics. 

A description of Cam's research:

The virtual worlds of video games naturally invite a chance to play with the laws of physics. While games regularly tweak their physics, the goal is often to create a simulation of a world that feels realistic and familiar to players. This research seeks to do the opposite: to create virtual worlds that accurately simulate laws of physics unlike our own.
