I am a PhD student at the University of Southampton with a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with Automotive theme. My project aims to develop the understanding of electrical damage in rolling element bearings in EV motors. On the side, I am also a keen and skilled photographer, with an interest in wildlife and landscape photography, but also have experience photographing sports events. In my free time I enjoy going on walks to explore new areas for photo opportunities. I am also an experienced fencer of 12 years, and have enjoyed helping coach novice members to improve their skills.
