Physics student exploring the frontiers of applied photonics and experimental research
Fourth-year at University of St Andrews
I’m Ethan Beddard, a fourth-year Physics student at the University of St Andrews with a focus on optics. I’m interested in how light and materials interact, and I’m keen to pursue a career in experimental or applied optics. Outside my studies, I enjoy side projects that blend physics, coding, and hands-on engineering.
I used CAD and a 3D printer to design and create an electric guitar.
Study on Fourier series and transforms, using them to create images in the canvas.
Created a Blender helper addon that lets you easily create dynamic radial arrays of objects.
Learnt the basics of programming in Swift (iOS & macOS) and created basic apps.
DIY electric guitar made from Scottish sycamore wood.
Competed in the F1 in Schools competition, placing 8th in the world overall.
A Blender addon for fun and creative ways to delete the default cube.
Interactive SVG-based metaball effects using advanced blur filters and gradient masking techniques.
COMSOL Multiphysics simulations for electric-field stimulated protein crystal responses.
Python tools for X-ray crystallography data processing and visualization.
Modern responsive website with dynamic animations and optimized performance.
