Biography

My background is primarily in Mechatronic systems and mobile robots after completing an MEng in Mechatronics and Robotics at the University of Leeds in 2018. I'm particularly interested in swarm systems as they represent an exciting paradigm shift that could lead to autonomous systems operating over scales and in numbers not previously feasible. My current dissertation project involves investigating swarm robotic systems to help with bridge inspections.
