My current role at The University of Birmingham (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, University of Birmingham (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.
