Research
Master Thesis: Optimal Entanglement-Assisted Quantum Error Correcting Codes
May 2019 – Aug 2021
- The objective is to construct optimal entanglement-assisted quantum stabilizer codes from quaternary Hermitian classical codes (accessed through here ZZZ)
- A Java program was implemented from scratch to find optimal parameters
- The program found multiple optimal and several potentially optimal parameters
- The implemented program tested published peer-reviewed optimal parameters and found multiple typos/inaccuracies in the results given
- A proof was provided in the thesis for each inaccurate parameter
- A paper is awaiting journal submission sharing the implementation of the program along with the new and corrected parameters found
App Development and Projects
Canada Games App
May 2019 – Aug 2022
- Lead Developer of a bilingual cross-platform app for Canada Games (2022)
- The objective is to give athletes the ability to communicate with each other, navigate through the community and keep track of live results and schedules
- Constantly developing programming skills through self-directed learning
- Designed the application and currently in the processing of developing, programming and testing it
- Worked under the guidance of a mentor and displayed a very flexible and open mindset to the opinions and suggestions of others
