Biography

I finished my degree in Product Design Engineering at Brunel university in 2019 and from here worked in environmental control at Dyson. I'm particularly passionate about developing technology which can contribute to reducing environmental impact, this led me to work for WASE, who are a start-up currently developing systems for bioenergy production and sustainable water treatment.  After working closely with automated data collection in my role, I undertook MSc Robotics at the University of Bristol. Over this period, I developed a broad interest in robotic systems, working with swarms (in my dissertation project) for the purpose of facilitating research into basking shark gill-raker filtering.  

I look forward to conducting research into Bioenergy over the period of my PhD,  with the aim of characterising behaviours of anaerobic digestion to optimise performance capabilities.
