In our fast moving and complex environment, sometimes the current engineering approaches can't keep up. My role is all about identifying where emergent physics can enable new or significantly enhanced capability - particularly for the defence sector - and then combining physics with systems thinking to practically demonstrate the science works, and assess the value or capability that can be unlocked. It's a lot of fun

Listed skills include Physics, Data Analysis, Research, Baking, and 9 others.

  Applied physicist within PA's defence and security team. My work is in identifying how to create new capabilities through the application of new physics and create genuine disruption. I have worked in sectors including manufacturing, life sciences and energy, and have a particular focus on the defence sector.

My work is in identifying how to create new capabilities through the application of new physics and create genuine disruption. I have worked in sectors including manufacturing, life sciences and energy, and have a particular focus on the defence sector. Some of my work has included:Design of Rydberg and Cold Atom sensors for RF and inertial navigationNew to world applications of quantum computing in optimisationDesign of novel non-linear opticsBuilding novel Additive Manufacture systems (food, pharmaceuticals...)Applications of new mathematics in addressing a congested electromagnetic environmentThe use of VR as a platform for futures investigationThe majority of my time is in the technical leadership and delivery of consulting programmes to identify, specify and test novel physics-enabled capability. Over the course of my time at PA I've been lucky enough to use the entirety of my undergraduate physics degree, which is kind of cool! Show less
