About

Luke Oakden

Hello! I’m Luke Oakden, an undergraduate student studying Mathematical Physics and Machine Learning at the University of Queensland with a keen interest in Quantum Technologies. As I continue my academic journey, I am fascinated by the intersection of theoretical physics and computational techniques. I’m particularly excited by the curioisities of quantum information and computing. I’m eager to contribute to the development of these cutting-edge technologies, from quantum algorithms to advanced machine learning models.

Outside of my academic life, I’m an avid catamaran racer. I compete in the world Formula 16 class and am working towards competing in the world championships. Alongside I race a hydrofoiling SL33 designed by Morelli & Melvin in preparation for the 34th America’s Cup in 2013. Foiling is an adrenaline-fueled sport that merges technology with athleticism, and I enjoy the challenge of pushing both myself and my boat to their limits.

With a solid foundation in pure mathematics, physics and machine learning, I’m constantly seeking opportunities to learn and apply new concepts. I believe the future of quantum technologies relies on a strong understanding of both the theory and the computational methods that can bring it to life. Through research, hands-on projects, and collaborations, I hope to be part of the next wave of innovations in the quantum space.
