Undergraduate Researcher, Shastri Lab, Queen’s University
- Conduct independent research on simulating a novel photonic Ising machine architecture.
- Develop Python-based simulations to evaluate performance, scalability, and applicability of the architecture to various combinatorial optimization problems.
-Apply advanced deep reinforcement learning methods using PyTorch in ongoing research involving Ising machines.
- Present findings in lab meetings to contribute to group research efforts and guide future development.
Undergrad Research Assistant, Queen’s University
- Conduct research under Dr. Ivan Iorsh on the transverse field Ising model with periodic driving, focusing on non-equilibrium dynamics.
- Simulate system evolution in Python and analyze excitation probabilities and thermodynamic properties.
- Prepare figures and analyses for a manuscript in preparation for peer-reviewed publication.
Research Assistant, SNOLAB, Sudbury
- Designed and implemented a cooling system for the photomultiplier tube (PMT) testing setup as part of the nEXO collaboration at SNOLAB.
- Enhanced Python scripts for PMT data analysis to improve accuracy, automation, and efficiency.
- Documented my work by writing a report and giving a presentation at the end of my term.
Content Developer, Maplesoft, Waterloo
