Thesis on Novel Methods and Applications of Weak Measurements in Optics. Supervised by Prof Jeff Lundeen.

Designed and built optical measurement systems for precision quantum experiments, combining hands-on hardware development with Python-based instrumentation and data analysis.

Key accomplishments:

  • Built a free-space optical platform integrating spatial light modulators, laser systems, and custom detection components for weak signal extraction
  • Developed Python-based automated control and data acquisition systems, interfacing with cameras, photodetectors, and motion stages
  • Created GPU-accelerated simulations to model system behaviour and optimise experimental parameters
  • Implemented statistical analysis pipelines for noise characterisation and signal processing
