- Chercheur en physique
paris2011 - 2014Research into experimental and theoretical quantum physics in the group of
Eleni Diamanti. My work involved computer programming in several languages, theoretical mathematical work, and analysing experimental data. My role was often to bridge the gap between experimental and theoretical physics, setting up and participating in collaborations with researchers throughout the world.
My time in research was both enjoyable and productive, resulting in several high impact publications. It taught me two useful skills: analytic thinking; and concise expression of complex ideas. Highlights included:
· Simulation and data analysis in C++ and Python;
· Digiteo postdoctoral research grant;
· Invitation to write a review article for Nature Nanotechnology; · Reviewer for American Physical Society and Springer.
