During my postgraduate years at University of Cambridge, I assisted the teaching of NST Part IA – Scientific Computing and Part II – Computational Physics in practical classes and supervised students for the Advanced Quantum Physics course. I also embarked onto a variety of different extra-academic activities, in the spare time I had between a rowing session and another.
I was a finalist in the Institute of Physics 3 minute wonder competition, an incredibly fun outreach event in which contestant explain their PhD project in 3 minutes to a broader audience. The event took place in the Faraday lecture theater at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, more famous as home of the Christmas Lecture.
I participated to Cavendish Industry Forums with IBM and Detica, an event where academia meets industry in creating collaboration and sharing ideas to solve problems and drive cutting-edge research.
I wrote a sample POSTnote for an internship application at the Parliament Office for Science and Technology (POST). I did not get the position, but I thought the small review I have done was interesting enough to share (pdf).
I attended Enterprise Tuesday, a series of lectures and networking events organized by the Cambridge Judge Business School to encourage and inspire entrepreneurial ambitions.
I participated in the Halite (I and III) competition – an AI bot game by Two Sigma – achieving silver tier (top 20% of participants).
I presented (twice) at the Cambridge University Algorithmic Trading Society (CUATS): An introduction to Pandas for Finance.
I attended or presented at a variety of conferences and workshops. You might have met me at:
Pydata Conference – London (2019)
Pydata London meetups (2019-2020)
TCM Electronic Structure Discussion Group – University of Cambridge (2013-2015)
X-Ray Structure analysis school – University of Durham (2013)
CASTEP Workshop – University of Oxford (2014)
NSCCS CP2K Workshop – Imperial College London (2014)
Networks and data mining conference – Bagnères-de-Luchon (2015)
Cavendish graduate student conference – University of Cambridge (2015)
During my undergraduate years at University College London, I won the Corrigan Prize for best performance in 2nd year experimental Physics, the Burhop Prize for best performance in final year Physics and made it into the Dean’s List for outstanding academic performance (top 5% of student achievement).
In my spare time, I like taking MOOC in fields outside my comfort zone (Physics). These are some of the courses I enjoyed:
Tim Roughgarden – Algorithms: Design and Analysis
Andrew Ng – Machine Learning
