Implementing a General-Purpose Finite-Difference for Electromagnetic Waves | 2021
The project focused on developing an FDTD simulator for EM waves, to be used by students and as a teaching tool. Allowing users to create their simulations using less than 7 lines of code, the simulator is implemented in Python and uses NumPy and Matplotlib.
Experimental Physics | 2021
The course involved performing experiments and analysing the results, including error analysis and also studying instrumental error. The course helped develop skills in scientific and clear communication, as well as building strong observational skills for a large variety of given environments.
Introduction to Numerical Modelling | 2020
Analysing real-world problems as physical and mathematical systems using numerical modelling techniques. Two systems that were modelled were The Tacoma Bridge, and a Travelling Salesman Problem.
Introduction to Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering | 2020
The course covered topics around medical imaging, 3D manufacturing, and radiation physics. The coursework covered was designing a sustainable, 3D printable product that would help patients with physical disabilities. School Projects
