Luke Sylvander, PhD

Research Scientist at Analog Quantum Circuits, Brisbane. I fabricate Josephson junctions and measure superconducting quantum devices. PhD in Applied Physics from RMIT University.

My PhD at RMIT University (supervised by A/Prof. Jim Partridge and Prof. Dougal McCulloch) centred on plasma treatment of semiconductors, electrolyte-gated transistor for neuromorphic computing and biosensing. This included developing novel simulation frameworks for fluid transport and validating numerical models against experimental data for neurodegenerative biomarker detection.

My computational foundations were established during Honours research at QUT under Dr Konstantin Momot, where I built a molecular dynamics simulation of a Lennard-Jones fluid from first principles to calculate rotational diffusion constants; work with implications for MRI contrast accuracy.
