My PhD focusses on the design of reliable and resilient power system architectures systems in the more electric and other future aerospace applications. The work is focussing on the system wide implications of power converter reliability, and aims to understand if reliability enhancing features from other industries can be applied with beneficial effects in aircraft.I am based within the international recognised Aero-Electrical Systems research group and supervised by Dr Patrick… Show more My PhD focusses on the design of reliable and resilient power system architectures systems in the more electric and other future aerospace applications.

I provide assistance in a number of classes across the undergraduate curriculum within the EEE department, supporting EEE/EME/CES/BME degree streams, this covers spans both laboratory and tutorial work..

As a scholar on the IET's Power Academy scheme I will start my career as an engineer whilst I study. This scholarship allows me the chance of a summer placement within my sponsoring company, SP Energy Networks, at the end of each academic year.

Placement of 2018: Future NetworksFor 10 weeks of the summer I have been placed in the Future Networks team within SP Energy Networks, within this team we strive to address the challenges faced on our network through innovation. Whilst here I have been lucky to have gained exposure to a wide variety of the innovation projects currently being undertaken by the organization. Some highlights are listed below:I have witnessed the commissioning of the UK's first digital substation at Wishaw, as the first of two bays was witched in for the project, FITNESS.I have liaised with other departments regarding projects within our portfolio, and have assisted on the main plant design for a new bay at Neilston substation where the Phoenix project is taking place.Also in my time here, myself along with the other Power Academy scholars have had the chance to visit multiple sites across the company including a technical tour of Cruachan Power Station.
