I am a D.Phil student at the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (OCIAM), a division of the Oxford University Mathematical Institute. My work is supervised by Dr. Paul J. Dellar and generously funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).


I work on the continuing development of the Quantum Lattice Boltzmann simulation method (QLB) and its application to quantum systems. QLB is originally derived from the Lattice Boltzmann Method for fluid simulation (LBM, a molecular dynamics based alternative to Navier-Stokes solvers in computational fluid dynamics) and was first proposed in 1993 by S. Succi and R. Benzi as a method to simulate non-relativistic quantum systems governed by the Schrodinger equation. Since then it has been developed into a more general method for quantum electrodynamics.
