Documentation from my PhD thesis in hydrodynamic cosmological simulations.

Hi there! 👋 Welcome to my Project Hub.

I am a Quantum Software engineer and research fellow in numerical multi-physics simulations with high-performance computing (HPC). As a physicist by training, I work at the Hartree Centre (STFC) in the UK and collaborate with IBM Quantum (Switzerland, UK and New York offices). I am also affiliated with the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester and I participate in the following collaboration consortia:

• 🌌 Virgo Consortium for Computational Cosmology Research
• 🖧 Particles At heXascale (PAX) program in ExCALIBUR
• 🛰️ Euclid space mission Consortium
• 📡 CMB Stage-4 experiments Collaboration

📐 What I am designing

• Qiskit Machine Learning: a community product that supercharges the Qiskit infrastructure to solve problems with machine learning techniques.
• SWIFTzoom is an agile library to automate analyses of zoom-in numerical @SWIFTSIM simulations, so that you can invest more in and accelerate ⚡ your science.
• SWprofile (nearly ready for official release!) is a toolkit to produce radial profiles 📉 of one or more objects from cosmological simulations. The best part? For the first time, you will be presented with interpretable and reproducible results, topped up with guidelines to share your workflow in your publications. As a bonus, it comes with features to fit multi-dimensional analytic models.

My research spans two domains: quantum & high-performance computing algorithms, and computational cosmology for galaxy evolution.

🌍 Open-source

I am passionately committed to the principles of open science and open data, viewing them as the drivers of impactful innovation and discovery. My mission is to foster a collaborative scientific community, where the boundaries of knowledge are continually expanded through the free exchange of ideas and acknowledgement of intellectual property.

If you use software or data from my repositories, please acknowledge the source or include a citation. I include citation guidelines in README.*, CITATION.bib and __cite__.py. Get in touch for details or enquiries!

🤝 Team-up

Thanks for viewing my profile and exploring my work! These projects thrive on the diversity and dynamism of open-source collaboration. Whether you're a seasoned coder or a curious beginner, your ideas and input could be the key to unlocking the next level of development. So please, delve into the code ☕, experiment, share your thoughts, and most importantly, ✨get in touch! ✨ I can't wait to see the unique perspective you'll bring to our collective journey through open science.
