About
I'm a PhD candidate in the Quantum Technology group at the University of Queensland. My research combines superconducting electronics with quantum nanophotonics, working on light-based artificial neurons for neuromorphic computing.
My work spans quantum photonics experiments, nanofabrication, and photonic circuit simulation, alongside applied work in quantum machine learning and colour-centre photonics in silicon carbide. I also tutor first-year physics at UQ.
Research
Superconducting Optoelectronic Neurons
My core PhD research: designing light-based artificial neurons using SPDC, TES, and SNSPD systems, with devices nanofabricated via electron-beam lithography at ANFF-Q.
Quantum Optical Reservoir Computing (QORC)
A quantum machine learning project running reservoir computing experiments on Quandela's Ascella photonic hardware, developed through the NewQ program.
Colour Centres in 4H-SiC
Feasibility study on electrically driven colour centres in silicon carbide, focused on the chlorine vacancy (ClV) defect for telecom C-band single-photon emission, in collaboration with groups at UNSW and RMIT.
Beam Splitter Tomography
Reconstructing two-photon density matrices from variable-ratio beam splitter measurements and computing entanglement entropy, run on Quandela's Belenos QPU.
