Auckland, New Zealand

8-week funded research placement at the New Dexterity research group, University of Auckland. Developed a conceptual framework for video game-based crowdsourcing of human cognition for the teleoperation of industrial robots. Culminated in the paper "On the Combination of Gamification and Crowd Computation in Industrial Automation and Robotics.

Bristol, United Kingdom

Year in Industry at a leading multidisciplinary systems engineering consultancy, focussed on finite element analysis of composite automotive components, and surrounding data analysis.Authored a large number of client deliverables, including a 25-page analysis report, and numerous PowerPoint slide packs including high-resolution animations to illustrate.

Bristol, United Kingdom

Worked with the creators of the crowdfunded VRGO virtual reality controller chair to develop the product for manufacture. Used the SolidWorks CAD package to model and modify the components of the chair, and met regularly with the company's founder to guide an iterative convergent-divergent design process, focussing on several key areas in need of refinement.

Bristol, United Kingdom

Elected president of society formed to improve collaboration and the sharing of ideas and advice between all five cohorts of Engineering Design students. Society Committee also conceived the idea for the Bristol is Global student project competition, which has run annually during the years since.

Warwick, United Kingdom

8-week engineering work placement at leading product design consultancy. Worked on several consumer healthcare projects at a variety of completion levels, all for globally-known brands. Developed numerous mechanical designs with the aid of iterative idea generation, CAD modelling, 3D printing and functional testing with bespoke rigs and video analysis.Also.

Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Tree Models For Interpretable Agents

My PhD research explored how we might begin to understand and explain the behaviour of autonomous decision-making agents, such as those.
