Matthew is an experimental physicist with expertise in the design, fabrication, and characterisation of silicon quantum devices. His current research focuses on using solid state arrays of atomically-precise quantum dots to simulate strongly-correlated electronic systems. Working jointly with Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) and in the School of Physics, his research develops both the commercial and fundamental scientific applications of solid-state quantum simulation. Matthew received his PhD from UNSW Sydney in 2023 developing 3D atomically-precise fabrication techniques and multi-scale modelling approaches for silicon nanostructures, for which he received the Dean's Award and the Jak Kelly Award for Postgraduate Excellence in Physics.
