Lina Taha

My name is Lina Taha, and I am currently majoring in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Data Science, with a concentration in Financial Data and Decisions from Khalifa University, UAE. I have a deep passion for research, and right now, I am pursuing data analysis as a research intern at NYU Abu Dhabi. I am working on Landau-Zener statistical analysis, applying my math skills to the quantum physics field. This interdisciplinary approach excites me, as it allows me to blend complex mathematical theories with practical applications in physics. My dream is to make significant contributions to both mathematics and physics, leveraging data science to solve real-world problems, and advancing our understanding of quantum mechanics. I aspire to become a leading researcher in my field, pushing the boundaries of what we know and inspiring others to explore the fascinating intersections of math and science.

During my summer internship in the "Quantum Exploration Lab" at NYU Abu Dhabi, I engaged in an exciting research project focused on the statistical analysis of a quantum system involving two interacting electrons. This interaction disturbs the first nucleus, N1, which is paired with another nucleus, N2. The primary objective of the project was to analyze wave functions and find correlations to understand the factors affecting the expectation value in quantum systems. My role in this research was primarily centered on data analysis rather than the underlying physics. Utilizing my skills in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Data Science, I employed MATLAB to write and implement codes necessary for conducting comprehensive statistical analysis. This analysis was crucial in explaining the physical phenomena observed in our quantum system. By focusing on the data, I was able to provide valuable insights into the patterns and behaviors resulting from the electron interactions and their impact on the nuclei. Through this project, I successfully applied advanced statistical methods to interpret complex quantum interactions, contributing to a deeper understanding of the disturbance transfer mechanism between nuclei. This experience not only enhanced my analytical capabilities but also demonstrated the powerful intersection of mathematics and physics in uncovering the intricacies of quantum systems.
