Year 1 Student - 2026 Cohort - Cohort 8

I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2025 with an MEng in Aerospace Engineering, where I developed a particular interest in space systems and satellite communications. I have also been technical lead for the University of Bristol Ground Station since 2024. After graduating, I continued at Bristol as a research associate on two projects: investigating software vulnerabilities in open-source implementations of satellite communication protocols; and space-weather threats to the UK national power grid. I have also worked as a teaching associate for the Space Universities Network.

My research interests centre on space cyber-physical systems, particularly the trade-offs between functionality, redundancy and security in space system design. I am interested in how these potentially competing demands shape current design decisions, and how to balance them to minimise risks from cybersecurity threats and the space environment in future mission design.
