Research Assistant | Exciton Science

Over the summer of 2025, I worked as a research assistant at the University of New South Wales in the School of Physics, contributing to projects in the field of exciton science. My work focused on modelling and understanding magneto-photoluminescence in organic semiconductors, particularly TIPS-tetracene, as part of a broader effort to explore applications in quantum sensing and solar energy. During my internship, I had the opportunity to develop and refine my computational and experimental skills, working with complex instruments, magnetic field calibration, and unstable particles.

My time at UNSW gave me an hands-on view of how physics research operates in practice. I developed hard skills in problem solving, debugging and time management which will set me up well for my future. The experience reinforced my excitement for pursuing physics research as a career pathway, and I left eager to continue contributing to work at the intersection of fundamental science and real-world applications.
