Background

About Sid Richards

Junior Data Analyst | First-Class MSci in Theoretical Physics & Mathematics | Aspiring Quantum Computing Engineer I’m a data-driven problem solver with a strong academic foundation in quantum mechanics, computational physics, and advanced numerical modeling. Currently working as a Junior Data Analyst at Aspect Maintenance, I build dashboards and extract actionable insights to support strategic decision-making. My academic journey at Lancaster University culminated in a First-Class MSci degree, with key projects focused on quantum computing and simulation. These included: • A dissertation on topological photonics and lasers, analyzing non-reciprocal systems and edge modes via custom numerical simulations • A group project simulating Grover’s and Shor’s algorithms using Qiskit and Python to explore quantum algorithm efficiency and noise robustness I’m currently expanding my expertise in quantum programming frameworks (Qiskit) and diving deeper into numerical techniques and quantum information theory. Goal: To become a Quantum Engineer and contribute to the development of real-world quantum applications. Let’s connect if you’re working in quantum technologies, computational modeling, or data-driven innovation—I’m always open to new ideas, collaborations, and insights.
