Project lead on the development of a tool (C++/Python) to simulate quantum transport in superconductor electronics based on Josephson junctions. The tool implements a finite element discretization (1D/2D/3D) of the Bogoliubov-DeGennes equations. Developped a version of the tool that implements the Usadel and Ginzburg-Landau equations (1D/2D). Project lead on the development of another tool used to simulate Single Event Upsets (SEUs) caused by neutron strikes on semiconductor circuits using the https://geant4.web.cern.ch toolkit.
