Cosmin Andrei Email and Phone Number

• Facilitated STEM academic flourishing workshops for students, on topics such as “Efficient Reading”, “Time Management” etc.• Led and designed trainings for physics tutors in the Princeton University Department of Physics• Developed personalized, course-specific techniques for student use to maximize learning retention during exam periods.

• Theoretically analyzed the temperature dependence of multiple pure dephasing mechanisms for an ideal transmon qubit.• Numerically fitted theoretical models to characteristic dephasing times recorded from a state-of-the-art transmon qubit and concluded which dephasing sources could be significant at millikelvin temperatures .

• Analyzed the cosmology of a cyclic universe comprised of matter and dark energy characterized by scalar field following a negative exponential potential.• Numerically analyzed the Luminosity-Redshift relationships from expansion until the beginning of contraction for the above-mentioned cosmology and concluded that a cyclic contraction phase could occur within a few Hubble times.

• Numerically investigated quantum thermalization for a 1D Bose-Hubbard chain with periodic boundary conditions for different system sizes that resemble chaotic behaviors.• Obtained agreement with the predictions of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis and verified the emergence of statistical mechanics from quantum dynamics.

• Modeled the charging and discharging of porous electrodes for “ideal” supercapacitors• Used MATLAB for numerically solving coupled partial differential equations in order to reproduce published results from
