Established under the National Quantum Initiative Act in 2018, the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center at Fermilab is researching, among other projects, both traditional 2D superconducting qubit chip, as well as novel 3D radio-frequency cavity, architectures in pursuit of building a quantum computer. Our full-stack mandate entails.

Johannesburg Metropolitan Area

Volunteered to design, build & administer a website for my research group at WITS University using Wordpress.

Johannesburg Area, South Africa

During my graduate research, I was chiefly involved in both theoretical & experimental investigations of various aspects of higher-dimensional, multi-particle quantum photonics and quantum information using light. These studies entailed practicing and perfecting numerous skills typical of higher-level STEM research, such as the theoretical modelling of.

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

- Studied quantum information within a special relativistic setting, in particular, modelling quantum ghost imaging between two parties moving with respect to each other- Using real-world images of spatial patterns of light, I wrote a Python package to label, process and feed the data into a custom supervised convolutional neural network written using.

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

Performed a novel quantum photonics experiment in higher-dimensional ghost imaging, using entanglement-swapped photons. I was part of a team which designed and built the free-space optical system as well as being in charge of both theoretically modelling the system and analysing the data.

Planned and oversaw an experimental project for engineering undergraduates & graded their reports. Observed an 8% improvement in the students' results compared with the previous three years.

Hatfield, Pretoria

I was elected the vice-chairman of my university residence, Taaibos, by a wide margin. Throughout my term, my duties included:- Responsible for academic oversight & support programmes which included implementing a novel in-house mentorship programme, which resulting in a 6% reduction in failure rates among the first-year residence housemates- Compiled and.

Hatfield, Pretoria

Taught undergradute-level calculus & mathematical modelling to multiple cohorts of engineering and physics students, and graded their exams.

Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa

As a summer student intern for two three-month periods over the university recesses in 2012 and 2013, I gained practical experience in an experiment on classical 'self-healing' optical beams. The project involved simulating the optical beams in Maple as well as building and aligning the experimental setup.
