My Name is Stuart Watt, and I am a Data Engineer and a Physicist
This website is a work in progress. To see what I have been up to recently, have a look at my Github!
Projects
Chess Analytics
In this project I wanted to see if I could find a way to improve my chess rating by analysing my past games. Although I could achieve this goal by studing chess theory, or playing more, I was curious to see if there were trends hidden in my games tht could pinpoint my weaknesses.
Stock Notifications
This project is a stock notification and trading simualtor for the ASX. It is full integrated with Google Cloud Platform and Discord.
Magnetism Research
I am involved in on-going research in the field of magnetism and spintronics. My interests are in the use of magnetic materials for sensing and computing applications. This research is cross-disciplinary, covering magnetism, numerical modelling and neuromorphic computing.
Flashbacks
A project to send me notifications about what I did on this day in years past.
Quantum Computing
I am teaching myself practical quantum computing. It is fascinating and going to be huge in the future. Using IBM Quantum, I am learning to program on real quantum computers!
