Maths PhD in Quantum @ICL

I am open to considering research projects that expand upon or relate to my previous research and/or experience. This includes careers in the quantum information industry.

I hold a mathematics PhD at Imperial College London researching quantum dynamics and non-Hermitian quantum systems.

I have researched the phase-space representation of quantum systems, the Husimi distribution. In a recent paper that is currently in the process of publishing, my co-authors and I analysed the Husimi distribution of non-Hermitian systems in the semiclassical limit. This work showcased the classical dynamics underpinning the full quantum dynamics these non-Hermitian systems experience. This paper has been published by the journal Physical Review Letters: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.157202 and is also available on Arxiv (open source): https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.03719

Current interests include researching the non-Hermitian Mexican Hat model that is featured in PRL paper, and the Billiard model. In the future, I would aim to conduct research to expand the toolbox of semiclassical methods that are applicable to non-Hermitian systems.

Before the PhD I completed an MMath course at the University of Nottingham, specialising in theoretical physics. The topics within the course included: Quantum Mechanics (introduction and Advanced modules), Quantum Dynamics, Quantum Information Science, Quantum Field Theory, General Relativity, Differential Geometry and Black Holes. My dissertation was on Quantum Optics, studying photon-photon interactions.

I am also an alumni of the Mary Lister McCammon Research Fellowship. A 10-week fellowship held by Imperial College London, which trained undergraduate women studying mathematics in valuable skills for PhD research. Since graduating from the program, I have given talks and advice Q&As to multiple cohorts. In 2022 became a support mentor for the group and co-taught presentation training alongside Justine Jones.
