Bio
I am a Computational Astrophysics PhD student at the University of the Western Cape. My passions include physics, deep learning, astronomy, anime and traveling.
Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently engaged with peers and mentored fellow students, honing my ability to convey ideas effectively. I understand the importance of patience and clarity in teaching, ensuring that students grasp fundamental principles before delving into advanced topics.
Education

• 2020 - 2021: Internship.
• 2022-2023: MSc in computational astrophysics
• 2024-now: PhD in physics.
My Proudest
Achievements
• My standard school qualifications, Matric, triple majoring, obtaining cum laude in my honors and MSc.
•
• Currently, the achievements I am most proud of tend to relate to the value I give to the people around me (science outreach, tutoring, etc.), and of course, contributing to science!
Subjects
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI have a degree in 3 maths-based majors, this makes me experienced in the subject in general. I know both how it feels to be competent and how it feels to struggle in the subject.
Physical Science
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCMy career is in physics (I'm doing my honours in physics this year), and as such it is the subject which I am the most passionate about. I like to think I know the important parts that your teacher/examiner probably wants you to understand.
Life Sciences (Biology)
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCMy general passion for science means that I will not hold back on trying to help students understand the concepts. I believe if you want pass a subject, you need to practice answering exam questions, and if you want to get an A, you will need a deep understanding of the concepts.
Programming
First YearWhile my speciality is in Physics, I do enjoy programming so much I do it in my free time. Having Computational and applied mathematics as one of my majors also means that I have at least 3 years in programming.
Python
First YearWhile my speciality is in Physics, I enjoy programming so much I do it in my free time. Having Computational and applied mathematics as one of my majors also means that I have at least 3 years in programming.
C++
First YearWhile my speciality is in Physics, I do enjoy programming so much I do it in my free time. Having Computational and applied mathematics as one of my majors also means that I have at least 3 years in programming.
Calculus
First YearI cannot think of a field of math in which I have better experience, most of the courses I have taken throughout my degree were calculus in some form or another, so I have probably come across a lot of the tricks to approaching problems at some point.
Physics
First Year - Third Year Quantum Mechanics PHYS3000A, PHYS3001A, PHYS3002A, PHYS3006AI personally find that the trick to doing good in advanced courses such as these is having passion for them and as I had passion for this one, I studied it thoroughly enough to be in a place to help students understand it.
