Summer Studentship
Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies
- In June and July 2023, I undertook a summer studentship in the School of Theoretical Physics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, which consisted of a group project in collaboration with three other students.
- My group's project was supervised by Dr. Aradhita Chattopadhyaya, and was based on the computation of black hole entropy via microstate counting of systems of 1/4 BPS dyons in type IIB string theory.
Report: Black Hole Entropy in String Theory
Presentation slides: Modularity of Black Holes and Ramanujan's Tau Function
Real-World Mathematical Modelling Event
Trinity College Dublin
- In May 2023, I participated in a three-day Mathematical Modelling Hackathon in Trinity College Dublin, in a group with Alexander Farren, Ben McGloin and Mikey Whelan.
- We developed an evolutionary algorithm in Python designed to optimise the constituency boundaries of Ireland according to the criteria outlined in the Irish Constitution.

Study of Soliton Dynamics
Independent Project
- A project in collaboration with Alexander Farren.
- We generated animations of soliton dynamics in Mathematica, and produced an accompanying report outlining the basic theory of solitons in one spatial dimension.
