Ișfan
Maria-Cătălina
Research assistant in
the Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics Group
I started my collaboration with ISS by doing
simulations of binary systems of inspiraling black holes,
as a part of my practical activities at the
Faculty of Physics. However, I wrote my bachelor's thesis
about the properties of the wave function of
an electron in a solid material that presents the Hall
effect.
After I got my degree, I joined this group
and started studying quantum computing. Our goal
is to develop quantum neural networks that
process data from the LISA mission, as a Romanian
contribution to this space mission.
Also, I participated as a volunteer to several
scientific popularization events „Researchers’ Night” (2021)
and „Școala de Vară de
Știință și Tehnică de la Măgurele” (2021).
