Biography

Before joining FARSCOPE I studied Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London. My dissertation project was on the design of a bimodal, aerial/aquatic vehicle. 

I then worked as a software engineer for a few years, specialising in safety critical applications, mostly in the rail and aerospace sectors. 

For me, FARSCOPE is the perfect opportunity to combine my interests of software and aerospace. My research project will focus on the dynamic modelling and control of aerial robots.
