Aerospace engineer working across CFD, fluid-structure interaction, composite structures and high-performance computing.
Most of what I do is about whether a result holds up once it is checked, not just whether it converged. In practice that means separating verification from validation, comparing solver output against hand calculations, and stating what a model cannot tell you.
01 / Selected engineering work
01 · CFD · Multiphysics
Validated NACA 0012 aerodynamics and a one-way coupled wind-turbine fluid-structure interaction study in ANSYS Fluent and Mechanical, with formal verification and validation throughout.
Read the case study
02 · Composites · FEA · Experiment
Experimental, analytical and finite-element investigation of thin-ply quasi-isotropic and Double-Double laminates: four architectures manufactured and tested, a ply-by-ply 3D Abaqus free-edge model, and statistics that decide the result.
Read the case study
03 · Design · Structures · Test
Design, manufacture and testing of the structural joints and aerodynamic fairings for a complete flight vehicle: ten additively manufactured parts, a load test past ultimate, and a failure analysis of the path nobody modelled.

02 / Engineering profile
Each project combines at least two of analytical theory, numerical simulation, physical manufacture and experiment. The useful engineering tends to appear where they disagree: an XFoil polar against a wind-tunnel run, a laminate theory prediction against a tensile test, a CFD reaction force against a hand calculation.
Every repository documents its own methods, verification, limitations and data provenance, including the results that were inconclusive and the failure mode nobody predicted.
03 / Education & current work
Imperial College London · Incoming
University of Bristol
Final-year research project on thin-ply composite laminates, supervised by Prof. Michael R. Wisnom.
In progress
Performance engineering and FPGA-oriented optimisation of clustering algorithms in C++ with SYCL/DPC++ and Alpaka, covering loop-carried dependencies, irregular memory access and on-chip memory trade-offs. An independent demonstrator, not yet published.
