I am a driven, creative, and highly analytical individual with advanced training in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. As a former doctoral candidate, I developed expertise in tackling complex problems through rigorous mathematical modelling and computational methods. I excel at problem-solving, thinking creatively, and continuously seeking opportunities to learn and grow. I thrive in collaborative settings, have strong interpersonal skills, and enjoy tackling new challenges.
I tutored the following courses:
I achieved an overall average student feedback score of 4.63/5.00 (Likert scale) across all metrics on the Student Experience of Learning & Teaching (SELT) survey. The courses mentioned spanned all year levels of undergraduate and graduate level education. My main role as tutor was to help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, applying them to a variety of practical problems in physics, mathematics, and other applied fields. The learning outcomes included but were not limited to, advanced topics in equilibrium thermodynamics, quantum mechanical effects in statistical systems, computer coding and simulations to visualise and model various physical systems, asymptotic methods to simplify and solve physical problems, relating concepts in group theory and their link to physical symmetries, integral transform techniques, and understanding key mathematical concepts in differential equations, complex analysis, and vector calculus.
I led large groups of first-year university students for the experimental laboratories of their physics module. My roles included explaining the theory and the methodology of the experiments, assisting with any problems or questions encountered, and marking relevant laboratory work and providing feedback where required.
This was a summer internship role that examined the possibility of using nitrogen vacancies in diamonds as suitable quantum buses. In this project, I ran complex drift-diffusion equations to model electron transfer simulations through the use of Mathematica. I was able to improve the fidelity of the previous diffusion model by 55% with theory-based work.
While an undergraduate at the University of Western Australia, I undertook an internship as a research assistant at the Institute of Molecular Science in Okazaki, Japan. The project examined an analytical derivation of a discrete-time quantum walk ansatz. Through this project, I learned how to use Mathematica for modelling various quantum walk systems. I reproduced stochastic plots describing the dynamics of the model and presented my findings.
