Biography
Following the completion of an Aerospace Engineering (MEng) degree at the University of Bristol, I conducted a PhD within the Aerospace Engineering department focusing on the development and application of probabilistic methods for the fatigue analysis of safety-critical aerospace components. I then went on to apply this background in characterising manufacturing variability in electrical machine windings with the Electrical Energy Management Group (EEMG), before taking on the role of Lecturer in Systems Engineering within the Department of Aerospace Engineering in 2021. Going forward, I have a specific interest in researching how novel data sources, data analytics and probabilsitic/statistical simulation can be better integrated into industrial environments and design processes.
Research interests
Probabilistic design, statistical simulation, aircraft tracking, ADS-B trajectories, landing gear design, electric propulsion.
