Course Projects

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.

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.

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.

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.
