- helped the Australian Government build its quantum industry as a member of the National Quantum Advisory Committee
- we released Australia's first National Quantum Strategy in 2023, which laid the groundwork for >$1B in investment into quantum things by the Commonwealth and State Governments.
- invested in frontier tech at Blackbird
- started and built Foundry, Blackbird's founder dev/preaccelerator program for PhD students and postdocs
- added some momentum at nonprofit DeadlyScience as first employee. DS is a Eureka Prize-winning charity that provides STEM learning resources to remote Indigenous schools and communities. You should donate.
- co-created/led with Genevieve Firmer (legend) the 2021 Harry Messel International Science School's chemistry stream with a workshop, "Is the universe ruled by chaos?"
- a bachelor of advanced science in chemistry and mathematics, with Honours and the University Medal in quantum simulation under Ivan Kassal, at the University of Sydney
- Ivan is a great researcher and supervisor with a wonderful group
- my honours thesis was on simulating chemical dynamics using an analog quantum simulator
- it was part of the work that led to the first simulation of chemical dynamics on a quantum computer!
- in general I really enjoyed my time at the University of Sydney and rate the academics there very highly. It's a great community. I loved being a part of it.
- i also did things like supervising advanced undergrads doing research, helping to start a student society, got elected in a student representative thing
- was a high school teachers' aide in learning support, a receptionist, a retail clerk, a waitress, and a Domino's pizza-slinger
- played a lot of bass guitar in various bands
