Clark Liu is an MPhil student in Scientific Computing (Atomistic Stream) at University of Cambridge, focusing on topological materials. Clark previously graduated from Durham University with a first-class MSci in Natural Sciences (Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry). For his final-year project at Durham, supervised by Dr Hannah Williams and Professor Simon Cornish, Clark conducted research on cold quantum simulation, writing a thesis on simulating optical tweezer array trapping methods using a spatial light modulator (SLM), successfully comparing these novel simulation results against leading international research groups at Caltech and the Institut d'Optique. Currently, he is preparing a theoretical and numerical project on quasicrystals and Floquet engineering in the Condensed Matter Theory (CMT) group at Cambridge under the supervision of Dr Nur Ünal, and will subsequently pursue PhD studies in Professor Jo's group at HKUST.
