Simulating and understanding quantum processes using tensor networks
(2022-06-13) - ThesisSimulation of quantum processes is essential to both furthering our understanding of the microscopic world and also in developing quantum technologies. For accuracy we must take into consideration the environment in which ... -
Yin or yang : confronting stellar activity in radial-velocity searches for exo-Earths
(2024-12-04) - ThesisStellar activity has a radial velocity (RV) signature which complicates the detection of planetary signals using RV method. Because magnetic activity of the host star occurs on identical timescales to Earth-like small ... -
Investigating charge extraction dynamics in hybrid perovskite solar cells using time-resolved spectroscopy
(2024-06-10) - ThesisThe widespread production of clean and efficient solar panels is becoming essential for overcoming the present threat of climate change. With this comes a growing need for the development of our fundamental understanding ... -
Post-starburst galaxies in simulations and observations
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - ThesisPost-starburst (PSB) galaxies are the galaxies in which star formation has recently been sharply truncated, as indicated by strong Balmer absorption lines alongside weak or absent nebular emission lines. PSBs are believed ...
