Hi! I'm David, currently working on my PhD in computational physics, where I'd like to implement machine learning strategies in quantum computing and cybersecurity applications. Outside of work, I'm a member of the uOttawa trivia club, and I love to spend time with my two horses (Beeb and Larke), and my four fancy goldfish (Diddy, Limmy, Baloo, and Little Bit)! |
