Course Projects

(UChicago) PHYS 334: Experimental Physics Reports

Files: Gamma Report - pNMR Report - Xray Report
Description: Reports for gamma-ray cross section, pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance, and x-ray experiments conducted for UChicago’s graduate experimental physics course.

(UChicago) PHYS 366: Presentation on Majorana Fermions

Files: Slides
Description: A 30-minute talk on theory and experimental developments of Majorana fermions for a final project for UChicago’s advanced condensed matter course.

(UBC) ASTR 403: Cosmology Poster

Files: Poster
Description: A poster discussing the uses of the (classical) Metropolis-Hasting Algorithm and (quantum) variational eigensolver algorithms in contemporary cosmology.

(UBC) PHYS 319: Microcontroller Tuner

Files: Report - Slides
Description: A report detailing the construction of a tuner made with a MSP-430 microcontroller and other electronic components. A set of codes and a notebook detailing my adventure with this cursed microcontroller can be found here, including (but not limited to) a program to Rickroll your favourite TAs using nothing but an MSP and a buzzer.

(UBC) CPSC 210: Quantum Circuit Simulator

Files: Code (GitHub) - Video (YouTube)
Description: A java app that can simulate one/two qubit quantum circuits. Admittedly super limited, but a fun exercise to learn a new language nonetheless. I don’t think the IBM Quantum Composer can be topped, anyway.

(UBC) SCIE 001: Acoustic Analysis of Wood Varieties

Files: Report
Description: A first-year’s attempt at self-directed research, jointly attempted and written with Annika MacKenzie. We studied acoustic properties of various species of wood (lumber) through acoustic/spectral analysis, to determine what wood types are most suitable for building musical instruments.
