About this position
This Research Fellow position is based in the School of Mathematics in Monash University’s Faculty of Science and is part of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematics for Quantum Era Security & Trust (MathQuEST). The project sits at the intersection of dynamical systems, computational mathematics, and quantum computing, with a focus on whether variational quantum circuits can act as useful surrogate models for nonlinear dynamical systems.
The successful researcher will investigate low-dimensional benchmark systems first, starting with systems of ordinary differential equations, and then extending the work to related nonlinear oscillators and chaotic attractors. A key part of the project is to compare two modelling strategies: directly learning the one-step evolution map, and learning the underlying vector field before numerical integration. The broader aim is to understand when hybrid quantum-classical models can provide useful representational or algorithmic advantages for scientific machine learning in nonlinear dynamics.
The role is embedded in MathQuEST, an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence led by Professor Nalini Joshi, with guidance from Warwick Tucker and collaboration with Chief Investigators across the Centre. The position is based at Monash University’s Clayton campus and includes regular contact with MathQuEST researchers at other universities. The Centre is framed around collaborative, interdisciplinary mathematics for the quantum era, with a strong emphasis on inclusive research culture, outreach, mentoring, and training.
