Quantum Phases Project
I received an NSERC USRA to do summer research in the Queen’s University Math Department. My research was simulating a Ph.D student’s theory in Matlab using Semidefinite Optimization to understand the Quantum Behaviour of Electrons in the now poorly-understood High-Temperature Superconductivity. No pretty pictures (yet), unfortunately.

My left hand, freshly covered in gymnastics chalk. A metronome I’ve had since I was ten, in the original box. My fiction collection, mostly strange sci-fi I […]

Family Reunions are Awkward because…
o You see what you could have been like if you had a slight shift in genes, or upbringing, and its strange and disturbing. o No matter what (maybe this is only me) you are the ONLY one your age. I’m always the oldest of the children, except for some guy that is too cool […]
