Reynolds Lyakisa

I am currently pursuing an MSc in Applied Mathematics at the
University of Technology (UNITECH), driven by a passion for
solving real-world problems through advanced mathematical
techniques and quantum computing. My academic journey has
been marked by resilience and adaptability, especially after my
BSc Honours research at the University of Papua New Guinea
(UPNG) was interrupted in 2024 due to the departure of my
supervisor. Although unable to complete my thesis on "Quantum
Circuits for a Quantum Computer," I remained committed to
personal and professional growth, exploring independent research
and professional development opportunities. During this time, I
focused on Topological Data Analysis (TDA), applying it to student
performance datasets from the School of Natural and Physical
Sciences (SNPS) to uncover patterns in high-dimensional data. I
have also developed expertise in quantum computing, participating
in workshops like the Qiskit Global Summer School (2024)
and Quantum Algorithm Design Workshop (2023), and gaining
practical experience in quantum circuit design and algorithms.
My professional background includes serving as a Physics/Math
Tutor at UPNG, where I supported students through personalized
guidance and technical teaching. Additionally, I hold certifications
in ICT Fundamentals, Linux, Networking, OSINT, and RedHat,
complementing my technical skills in programming, cybersecurity,
and network administration. Looking ahead, I aspire to leverage
my expertise in applied mathematics and quantum computing to
address challenges in energy, communication, and healthcare,
contributing to Papua New Guinea's technological growth and
sustainable development. I am always open to collaborations and
discussions on projects in quantum computing, data analysis, and
applied mathematics
