Hello! I am a computational biophysicist currently working on Fluctuating Finite Element Analysis at the University of Leeds, UK. You can get in touch with me at [email protected]. While you're here, please take a look at my CV and LinkedIn profile!
A random walk (sometimes called ‘the drunkard’s walk’ describes the motion of a particle that undergoes a series of random steps. But what happens if that particle is a quantum particle? This article presents a few interesting ways of visualising this motion, using Python and matplotlib.
X-ray diffraction is an experimental technique that can be used to look at structures made of repeating lattices – anything from crystalline solids to crystallized biological molecules. In this lab report, I describe an experiment to determine the lattice parameters and Bravais lattice using 1-D X-ray diffraction patterns.
