Contracted to assist uMotif, who specialise in clinical trial data capture, with their backlog of reporting tickets. Worked on multiple studies and a variety of reporting solutions in a specialised team of three. Technologies used included Python, Docker, MySQL 8, Jira, Gitlab, AWS, and Android Studio. Completed all issues within the original time estimate.

Part of the simulation development team for Lateral Flow Devices (LFD), tasked with developing and maintaining the LFD Digital Twin responsible for predicting future performance the UK’s testing supply chain network logistics in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ICURe (“Innovation-to-Commercialisation of University Research”) Programme is training, funding and supporting a team, led by me, to determine whether there is a market for our thermal energy storage system. I have been funded to ‘get out of the lab’ and validate our commercially-promising idea in the marketplace.

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

I have developed integral components for an Ultra High Thermal Energy Storage system. At ultra-high temperatures of around 1600°C materials have a highly complex behaviour and can fail in a number of different ways. In this project, I investigated suitable materials for ultra-high temperatures and clarified how and why they might fail.

My thesis was titled "Modelling elastic dynamics and fracture with coupled mixed correction Eulerian Total Lagrangian SPH". This involved modelling problems involving large deformations and fracture using a particle method. It also involved a detailed literature review, understanding of and modification to complex theory including crack initiation and.
