Monte Carlo Simulation of Ferroelectric ZrO₂
Developing and testing a six-state lattice simulation using energy calculations, periodic boundaries, and Metropolis sampling.
Hello, my name is
Ethan Le Nguyen.
I study mathematics, computer science, and physics.
I am a student at San Diego State University interested in mathematics, pure and computational. I am currently curious about scientific computing, computational physics, numerical methods, quantum cryptography, Rubik's cube theory, quantum computation, and high-performance computing.
About me
Using computational power to explore scientific problems
I am pursuing an interdisciplinary education in computer science, mathematics, and physics. My interests lie where mathematical theory, physical models, and software development meet.
My long-term goal is to develop reliable computational tools that help scientists and engineers study systems that are difficult, expensive, or impossible to investigate experimentally.
