I am PhD Researcher at the University of Bristol conducting a PhD in "Failure Characterisation of Composites at Cryogenic Temperatures" with BCI and Siemens Magnet Technology. I am a graduate of the University of Exeter having completed a MEng in Mechanical Engineering, (upper 2nd class honours). I want to pursue a career in a research or design role, within the mechanical engineering sector, that will continue to challenge me. In this role, I would like to be working towards chartered status within IMechE or a similar institute.I am very interested in innovative techniques and technologies including: Cryogenic testing; Experimental Mechanics; Composites; Renewable energy (specifically nuclear fussion, hydrogen storage and hydropower); Energy harvesting; Recycling; Mismanaged plastic waste solutionsMasters' Dissertation: "Energy Harvesting in Moderate Velocity Remote Open Water Channels"
