University
I am a first year theoretical physics student at Trinity College Dublin. I am fascinated by the intersection of mathematics and physics and hope to one day do research in my chosen field.
I am the first year representative of the Theoretical Physics Student Association of Ireland. Being apart of an organisation like TPSA has opened so many doors for my academic career. I have attended a plethora of workshops, talks, and seminars ranging from quantum gravity to postgraduate research opportunities presented by alumni. I am extremely proud not just a member but also to be on the committee of TPSA. To find out more go to tpsa.ie.
Quantum Innovation Challenge – IBM
The Quantum Innovation Challenge was an event part of the Qiskit Fall Fest Events hosted by TPSA and in association with IBM Quantum.
Two fellow first years and I formed a team and participated in the challenge and we ended up winning!
The challenge was like a hackathon. We were tasked with finding solutions using quantum computing where classical computers failed and apply it to a given sector. Our sector was cybersecurity and digital communications. To summarise, our project was proposing the idea of quantum teleportation as an “unhackable” means of communication.

Applications
While I now am studying theoretical physics at the Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. As part of the UCAS cycle for 2026 entry I received the following conditional offers:
- Economics and Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh
- Financial Economics and Mathematics at the University of St. Andrews
- Economics and Mathematics at Durham University
- Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics at the University of Warwick
Curios about my educational journey, how I navigated both the CAO and UCAS and or why I switched from economics to physics?
