During my postgraduate years at University of Cambridge<\/strong>, I assisted the teaching of NST Part IA – Scientific Computing<\/a> and Part II – Computational Physics<\/a> in practical classes and supervised students for the Advanced Quantum Physics course<\/a>. I also embarked onto a variety of different extra-academic activities, in the spare time I had between a rowing<\/a> session and another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was a finalist in the Institute of Physics<\/strong> 3 minute wonder<\/em> competition<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I participated to Cavendish Industry Forums<\/a> with IBM<\/strong> and Detica<\/strong>, an event where academia meets industry in creating collaboration and sharing ideas to solve problems and drive cutting-edge research.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote a sample POSTnote<\/a> for an internship application at the Parliament Office for Science and Technology<\/strong> (POST). I did not get the position, but I thought the small review I have done was interesting enough to share (pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attended Enterprise Tuesday<\/a>, a series of lectures and networking events organized by the Cambridge Judge Business School<\/strong> to encourage and inspire entrepreneurial ambitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I participated in the Halite<\/a> (I and III) competition – an AI bot game by Two Sigma<\/strong> – achieving silver tier (top 20% of participants).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I presented (twice) at the Cambridge University Algorithmic Trading Society<\/strong> (CUATS<\/a>): An introduction to Pandas for Finance<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attended or presented at a variety of conferences and workshops<\/strong>. You might have met me at:
Pydata Conference – London (2019)<\/a>
Pydata London meetups (2019-2020)<\/a>
TCM Electronic Structure Discussion Group – University of Cambridge (2013-2015)<\/a>
X-Ray Structure analysis school – University of Durham (2013)<\/a>
CASTEP Workshop – University of Oxford (2014)<\/a>
NSCCS CP2K Workshop – Imperial College London (2014)<\/a>
Networks and data mining conference – Bagn\u00e8res-de-Luchon (2015)<\/a>
Cavendish graduate student conference – University of Cambridge (2015)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my undergraduate years at University College London<\/strong>, I won the Corrigan Prize<\/a> for best performance in 2nd year experimental Physics, the Burhop Prize<\/a> for best performance in final year Physics and made it into the Dean’s List<\/a> for outstanding academic performance (top 5% of student achievement).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>
Andrew Ng – Machine Learning<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
