I received a summer 2006 NSERC USRA grant to do research in the Queen’s University Math Department. My research was numerical simulation in MATLAB of a Ph.D student’s theoretical approach using Semidefinite Optimization to understand the quantum behaviour of Cooper Pairs of electrons in the now poorly-understood High-Temperature Superconductivity. No pretty pictures (yet), unfortunately.

[…] is especially exciting for me personally, since my first-ever technical job was to run numerical simulations in MATLAB of Cooper Pairs for high-temperature superconductivity. I spent nearly 3 months of a summer computing the eigenvalues of sparse matrices, observing how […]
