My current role at The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø (UoB) is a Teaching Fellow in Mechanical Engineering. My teaching and research focus is on vehicle engineering. I started my PhD at UoB in 2018 studying emissions from hybrid electric vehicles and their catalytic aftertreatment systems. After completing my PhD I worked as a Research Fellow in decarbonisation technologies for a year before starting the role of Teaching Fellow in February 2023.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Mechanical Engineering, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø (2023)
  • MSc in Mechanical Engineering, University of Nottingham (2018)
  • BEng (Hons) in Motorsport Engineering, Coventry University (2017)


Biography

In 2013 I started my academic journey when I started my undergraduate degree in Motorsport Engineering at Coventry University. During this time, I was heavily involved in the Formula Student Team. Following on from that I studied MSc. Mechanical engineering at The University of Nottingham where my studies were largely focused on vehicle engineering. I started my PhD in 2018 studying hybrid vehicle emissions control strategies and completed this in 2023.

From 2022 to 2023 I worked at UoB as a Research Fellow in the area of decarbonising the energy sector working as a consultant for business around the West Midlands. My current role at UoB started in February 2023 and is much more teaching focused. I teach vehicle engineering and also support students on industrial placements as a Year in Industry supervisor.

I have also gained industrial experience working at Cummins Turbo Technologies from 2015-2016. Additionally I have completed industrial projects and secondments at AVL and Repsol whilst funding for my PhD work was provided by Johnson Matthey.
