Projects

Web Developer 2015

Quantiki.org

• Implementing a full stack solution to replace a complex legacy system without data loss or service interruption
• Identifying existing software packages that meet the project requirements and developing new ones where none are available such as a wrapper module for Pandoc
• Selecting the best technologies to use to ensure a reliable service with a long life span and explaining my decisions to the project leaders
• Writing documentation to explain my process for implementation and providing a simple method for deployment so it can be replicated in future if necessary

Project Student 2013-2014

University of Leeds Dr Jaewoo Joo

• Created a numerical simulation of measurement based quantum computation with a topological error correction code in Fortran 95 based on the work of my supervisor
• Used LAPACK to improve performance and ensure scalability as well as provide advanced linear algebra routines such as matrix decomposition
• Achieved a grade of 70% (4.0)

Project Student 2012-2013

University of York Prof. Irene D’Amico

• Created numerical and analytical simulations of de-coherence of Qubits in silicon-28 quantum dots due to hyperfine and magnetic interactions
• Generated graphs from results showing the state of the system over time for a range of initial conditions
