I grew up in Australia and completed a BAdvSc in Physics at the University of Queensland, where I became deeply interested in the societal implications of emerging technologies, inspired by the concept of “weapons of math destruction”. This led me to explore quantum technologies, particularly the interface between quantum and classical resources, where foundational physics can have industrial applications. As a PhD student in theoretical quantum information, my research aims to advance our understanding of these systems in a way that is equitable, accessible, and oriented towards the common good. Practically, I will explore avenues for quantum advantage through quasiprobability frameworks, metrological algorithms and contextuality. I hope to help develop quantum tools which revolutionize healthcare, address climate challenges, and enable breakthroughs in materials science. I am very excited to join the Gates Cambridge community, where the scholarly commitment to rigorous research and positive social impact mirror my own ambitions.
