From lab bench to the real world.
Materials, devices, and everything in between.
I take research from the lab bench and bring it into the real world. Over the past six years I've developed additively manufactured wearable devices for biomedical monitoring and built the next generation of battery-free tyre monitoring systems now being tested by major automotive and tyre manufacturers. I work extensively with composite materials, piezoelectric ceramics, functional polymers, wearable electronics, and additive manufacturing methods. What ties it all together is the full pipeline — formulation, fabrication, characterisation, modelling, and deployment.
My work doesn't fit neatly into one discipline. I work across materials, manufacturing, electronics, data analysis and simulation — and I lead projects end-to-end because the problems I care about need someone who can see the whole picture. More recently I've been pulling AI and machine learning into that mix — for materials discovery, process optimisation, and data-driven design. I don't think you ever stop finding new tools that change how you approach a problem, and I'd rather keep learning than settle into a single method.
Outside of work, I like to stay busy — side projects, padel, kettlebell training, board games with friends, and the occasional video game session.
