Profile

With a diverse research background spanning neuroscience, robotics, and renewable energy systems, I specialise in the integration of low-carbon technologies. My current work focuses on evaluating both emerging and established systems for the capture, storage, and distribution of thermal and electrical energy, optimising performance for both individual dwellings and multi-home communities.

Research interests

Mechanical Engineering

Sustainable Thermal Systems: Low-carbon heating, heat pumps, and district-scale heat networks.

Smart Home Systems & Control: Domestic energy monitoring, advanced heating system control and custom user interfaces.

Grid & System Integration: Renewable energy systems integration, custom energy storage solutions.
