- Tasked with coming up with both short and long term plans for the association. - Organised various events such as talks from both students and academics for the members of the association. This provided students with insight into cutting edge topics in modern research from accomplished academics and on important aspects of being a student such as how to.

• Calculated energy levels in various quantum mechanical spin systems using IBM’s quantum software Qiskit.
• Studied quantum mechanical methods such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver algorithm and Trotter decomposition.
• Studied systems such as the spin-1/2 trimer and spin-1 dimer with external effects such as a magnetic field.
• Worked directly with a pre-doctoral researcher from IBM.
• Presented the progress of my research and discussed next steps of the project with my supervisors at regular intervals.
• Held a 2-hour workshop with local secondary school students to demonstrate the type of work done in physics research, along with attempting to make physics a more accessible subject to study at 3rd level.
