\section{Research \\Experience}

\begin{itemize}
    \item Parallelization of key quantum subroutines, producing a net
    savings in computational space-time volume \\
    \textbf{Low-Overhead Parallelisation of LCU via Commuting
    Operators} \\ (arXiv 2023)
    \item Research into optimization techniques for variational quantum
    algorithms, leading to a quantum-aware re-expression of the
    problem with improved convergence. \\
    \textbf{Training Variational Quantum Circuits with CoVaR:
    Covariance Root Finding with Classical Shadows}
    (Gregory Boyd and Bálint Koczor, PRX 2022)
    \item Researched Quantum Topological Data Analysis during an
    internship as a research scientist at \textbf{Quantinuum}, working in a
    small team starting up a workstream of which I became a vital
    member, providing significant circuit optimizations, and resulting in a patent.
    \item Freelance consultant for \textbf{Quantum Motion}, collaborating in the work \\
    \textbf{Low Depth Phase Oracle Using a Parallel Piecewise Circuit} (arXiv 2024)
    \item Investigation and regularisation of unprecedentedly large subspace expansions. \\
    \textbf{High-Dimensional Subspace Expansion Using Classical Shadows} (arXiv 2024)

    \item Resource estimation of subroutines for a practical
    implementation of early fault-tolerant quantum simulation,
    allowing for useful hardware requirements for the earliest
    quantum algorithms.
    \item Modelling superconducting qubits at the hardware level, involving
    modifying and testing a state-of-the-art GPU-solver on
    the Cambridge Computing Cluster, developing an in-depth
    knowledge of modern quantum computing architectures and
    computational techniques.
\end{itemize}

\section{Programming \\and IT Skills}

\begin{itemize}
    \item Developed simulations for complex physical systems using
    Python and C++, including a simulator for optimal control of
    superconducting qubits from the ground up in C++ and various
    many body simulations, and analyzing the results to provide
    meaningful comparisons with theory.
    \item Used Mathematica to produce simulations of a complex quantum variational optimization scheme. 
    \item Used HPC resources to do large scale simulations of early
    quantum computers.
    \item Familiar with a variety of quantum simulators/software packages,
    including Cirq, Qiskit, QuEST, Q\# and OpenFermion.
    \item Git proficiency, used in professional and personal projects
    \item Developed an Android e-reader/audiobook player app.
    \item Developed a WebAssembly plugin providing a full LaTeX compiler with extra utilities for the note-taking app Obsidian.
\end{itemize}


\section{Problem Solving Skills}

\begin{itemize}
    \item Worked as part of small teams, producing and presenting
    solutions to problems and co-developing solutions with others.
    This has taught me to provide and utilize support, incorporating a
    variety of ideas to solve a problem.
    \item Analyzed datasets using statistical methods to illustrate key
    properties and trends, allowing for identification of problem
    features and routes to solutions.
    \item Studied a diverse range of subjects including chemistry and
    materials science. This broad grounding has given me
    experience in adapting methods for use in varied contexts.
\end{itemize}


\section{Communication Skills}

\begin{itemize}
    \item Experience in public speaking through presenting research at the
    Quantum Computing Hub Project Forum, and Quantum
    Algorithms for Chemistry conference at CECAM
    \item Presented a highlighted poster at QIP 2023, and received an honourable mention for the SEEQA 2024 poster prize.
    \item Oxford Tutor, providing small group teaching to Undergraduates
    at a world-class university.
    \item Tutored pupils at A level with differing degrees of aptitude, clearly
    communicating knowledge at the correct level to provide marked
    improvements in results.
    \item Outreach to schools on behalf of University Access.
\end{itemize}
