01 · About
I am a MSci Physics student at the University of Cambridge (2022–present), with First Class Honours (72%) in the BA component.
My interests span computational physics and fluid dynamics — from reviewing laminar-to-turbulent transition and CFD modelling, to implementing multi-spin encoding for Ising models — alongside scientific Python (numpy/scipy/matplotlib), Linux, Git / self-hosting, and STEM education and tutoring.
02 · Selected work
I.Where orderly flow becomes turbulence
Research review · Fluid dynamics. A review of the literature on the physics of laminar-to-turbulent transition, and the CFD models used to simulate it.
II.Encoding many spins, considering every bit
Computing project · Statistical physics. Implemented and tested multi-spin encoding techniques for Ising models, focusing on memory use and computational performance.
Scientific computing in Python (numpy, scipy, matplotlib), on Linux with Git.
03 · Teaching
Freelance A-level tutor in physics, chemistry and mathematics since 2022; STEM SMART mentor, Nov 2023–Apr 2024.
