As an undergraduate studying Natural Sciences at UCL I have been able to explore both Physics and Chemistry from a unique, interdisciplinary perspective. The strong research base of the university quickly engaged me in various research projects, all centred around science on the nanoscale. Following on from this experience, I am now studying with the CDT in Nanosciences at Cambridge. After a first year of rotations, I have now settled on a PhD project in silicon-based quantum computing. The capabilities of scalable quantum computers promise to help in the development of new materials and medicines and have many applications in data management and optimisation of hard to tackle systems. They are expected to impact a vast number of industries and are likely to lead to cheaper, more accessible technologies.
