This is me at the Grand Opening of the National Quantum Computing Centre just after my time working there.
Being on the cusp of new knowledge and impactful technologies excites me. I am early in my career as a physicist, looking forward to beginning a PhD.
My research interests are rooted in quantum computing technologies. Novel platforms for more effective qubits are of particular interest to me, and this is my gateway into condensed matter theory; a rich and diverse field I am eager to explore further.
My latest work has been on Majorana quasiparticles and the fractal structure of quasicrystals. I focus on the interaction of topological phase and fractality in Majorana systems. Find out more in projects and publications.
Whenever I had the opportunity I chose to keep my studies interdisciplinary. However, even this doesn’t fully capture the root of my academic curiosity.
The brain has always been a touchstone of my psychological, philosophical and scientific interests. It’s the maze of links from brain structure to emergent behaviour to consciousness and existence to physical reality and back to what makes up that structure again which fascinate me.
These are a few of the books most important to my personal journey through these topics.
Check out a few fun pictures of me getting up to some of the things I love doing outside fo work... I am an avid climber, love hiking and my unreliable van; I am partial to badminton, and have always loved sailing.
For a long time I have competed at a high level in various sailing disciplines. More recently I have also been working to share this passion through the Western Keelboat Association, a charity of my own, designed to increase access to keelboat racing.
These will be funny to look back at when I will have forgotten to update this page for years...
