Teddy Ochieng
@teddyochieng2
Physicist and computational researcher bridging quantum physics and AI.
What I'm looking for
I am a Ph.D. physicist specializing in quantum mechanics, computational physics, and applied mathematics, with a strong record of research, publications, and conference presentations.
I design and implement computational models using Python and MATLAB to study complex physical systems and have led interdisciplinary research projects from hypothesis through publication.
As an experienced educator and mentor, I have supported undergraduate instruction, developed supplemental learning materials, and provided one-on-one tutoring to strengthen student understanding.
I am currently completing a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence, and I seek roles that combine physics expertise, computational modeling, AI applications in physical sciences, academic writing, or STEM quality assurance.
