I became interested in neutrino astronomy during an exchange with the University of Valencia in my third year. During the exchange, I completed my final project on indirect dark matter detection in galaxy clusters with the ANTARES neutrino telescope. Initially, I was drawn to neutrino research by the possibility of new physics. Once the project had begun, I found it immensely satisfying to build on my programming skills in a practical physics context. I relished the opportunity to make my own small contribution to the collaboration and to present my results at workshops such as Dark Ghosts and Multidark. For me, a Ph.D. at CPPM is an opportunity to pursue my interest in neutrino physics further, whilst also experiencing life in a new country, learning new practical skills and opening the door to a career in physics.I have a strong foundation in C++, as well as having used ROOT and Matlab in the laboratory and during the final project. I am also comfortable with more hands-on work, having recently built a blackjack game as part of the microprocessors course at Imperial. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoy learning new languages. I can speak French and Spanish confidently and hope to learn German, when I have the opportunity.
Coordonnées
Techniques maîtrisées
C++: Has been used extensively throughout the MSci programme to simulate a
double pendulum, the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field, a particle detector experiment modelling muon and pion decay, and a gravitational assist manoeuvre.
MATLAB: Analysing decaying vibrations on strings and solving coupled differential equations modelling dark matter haloes in galaxy clusters.
ROOT: Was used to find the sensitivity of the ANTARES detector towards neutrinos
from coannihilating dark matter in galaxy clusters as part of the MSci project;
it was also utilised to find the lifetime of the D 0 meson from experimental data as part of the Computational Physics course.
Assembly: Building a blackjack game with a computer opponent using the AT-
mega128 microcontroller.
Compétences
I am organised, trustworthy and have good analytical skills.
