Applying machine learning to materials data.

Research work two theoretical projects:Investigated the quantum dynamics of vortices in superfluids. * Solved a Langevin equation of motion for a quantum vortex, used numerical methods and asymptotic methods to understand the stocastic equation governing the motion of a superfluid vortex.* Co-supervised masters student student J. Froustey investigating the low frequency behavior of the vortex mass. Guided and instructed a visiting student using quantum field theory tools to understand vortex mass problem. Studied decoherence dynamics in many qubit systems coupled to spin baths. * Independently developed a method of understanding the dynamics of and quantum correlations of spin systems in terms a hierarchy of equations of motion.* Collaborated with postdoctoral fellow A Gomez on useing Green's functions techniques to understand the thermodynamics and dynamics lattice spin systems coupled to a spin bath.

Teaching, grading, and course preparation for a variety of physics courses at different levels. Highlights include:* Running labs, tutorials and lectures for a selection of classes.* Designing new lab activities including coding, testing and development of apparatus, writing lab instructions and accompanying tutorial material for Phys 314 (Fluid Mechanics) in 2014. This material has been used in later years.* Teaching assistant for special stream of Phy 102 at UBC's Vantage Collage for students with English as a second language. * Grading the Micheal Smith Science Challenge, a Canadian national competition for students in Grade 10 science or lower.* Developing projects for the students to complete for Phys 410 (Computational Physics).

Masters research in theoretical nonlinear physics. Wrote numerical code to solve nonlinear partial differential equations and used asymptotic methods to understand the results. This work was largely self directed.

Multiple roles. Teaching labs and grading assignments for Physics and Mathematics courses.

Completed a theoretical industrially motivated project. The project was developing a thermodynamic model of Hydrogen absorption in Palladium nanoparticles. Presented results to collaborators and stake holders with seminars and internal documentation. Contributed to a peer reviewed paper.

Completed a computational industrially motivated project. For the project I set-up and ran a computer simulation of electro-osmotic flow in micro channels in order to study mixing. Used the finite element method to solve the Naiver-Stokes equation for fluid flow. Presented results to collaborators and stake holders with seminars and internal documentation.
