Edward MacBridge

Professor Edward MacBridge, B.W.F.E. and B.Q.T., was an early-25th century warp field engineer who was well-known for his assistance in creating the transwarp drive in the late-2410s. Edward MacBridge recieved two Nobel Prizes in Physics for the transwarp drive including multiple nation, planet, and Federation-wide commemorations from dozens of scientist and scientific institutions.

Professor MacBridge visited the USS Rimor in 2440 to observe an experiment conducted by the Rimor's chief engineer, Lieutenant Samson, which would've made the transwarp drive capable of reaching speeds of 3,000,000 to 3,500,000 times the speed of light. This would've been the creation of what Professor MacBridge called a 'metawarp drive '. 

Biography
MacBridge was born on stardate 65690.14 in Belfast, Ireland. He was born to an unnamed father and his mother Angelina MacBridge (neé O'Brien). Not much of his childhood was discussed besides the fact that he contracted pharyngitis at the age of five and that he entered kindergarten at the age of four.

MacBridge graduated from school at age sixteen due to an academic acceleration from grade ten to twelve after numerous high-scores on school tests and an IQ test (the IQ score was one-hundred and forty-five as of 2404. At age eighteen MacBridge was accepted into the University of Dublin's special curriculum school and Mensa. At eight twenty-two he began his own club to assist students on warp field theory and subspace field mechanics, two subjects he excelled at during his early years in the University of Dublin.

At age twenty-five he was recognized by Starfleet Science for creating the smallest stable warp field for a science fair. He was then introduced to multiple Starfleet warp field theorist, specialist, and engineers, all of whom inspired him to leave the Univeristy of Dublin (but not Mensa), and join Starfleet (specifically Starfleet Science). He quickly began working amongst his ' warp field buddies ' until the age of twenty-eight when he was offered a professorship at Starfleet Academy, in the Interspecies Warp Field Theory Conference, and back in the University of Dublin. He quickly agreed to all three professorships and just a few months later found himself working aside his same 'warp field buddies ' in the Federation Transwarp Programme, within a few more months he found himself assisting in the completion of the first functional transwarp drive in 2418. He was commemorated with two Nobel Prizes in Physics, and dozens of commemorations from dozens of scientific institutions.

From age thirty in 2418 on he went back and forth lecturing and teaching for Starfleeet Academy, the IWFTC, and the University of Dublin. In 2440, while visiting the USS Rimor at age 62, MacBridge discussed contemplating retirement because 'all of this warp field theory and transwarp drive talk has overworked my synapses, and they deserve a long overdue, long-term break '.

As of 2438 and 2440 (Star Trek: Rimor, and Star Trek: Rimor | The Occupation), Professor Edward MacBridge is still active and hasn't retired from academics or warp field engineering yet.
