As a graduate of Aerospace Engineering to Master's level, my specialism is in the design of products, machines and components informed by suitable engineering analysis. I have extensive knowledge of mechanical design, analysis and manufacturing processes, with experience in the field of automotive engineering from both theoretical and practical perspectives, as well as engineering knowledge of aircraft and spacecraft and other general mechanical engineering. My theoretical background includes such fields as stress analysis, materials science and selection, fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, flight mechanics and dynamics (including aeroelasticity). Within the automotive field, ground vehicle dynamics and handling is my specialism, having worked at Gordon Murray Design in the small department specialising in this area. Additionally, I have extensive practical experience of machine shop and workshop practice, particularly within the automotive field, which ensures that my designs allow for ease of construction and maintenance. I was a core member of my university’s Formula Student team, constructing a racing car from a clean sheet of paper. Through this project, I gained additional experience of design and construction of racing cars, while also intensively furthering my knowledge of automotive aerodynamics. I was personally in charge of all aerodynamic aspects of the car, most significantly the production of the wings and radiator ducting. I am competent in finite element analysis (FEA), including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, and in CAD modelling and preparation of engineering drawings for manufacture.
