- Supervisor: Dr Timothy Hunter, Professor Jeffrey Peakall
Profile
Obtained an MEng in Chemical & Nuclear Engineering from Leeds University in 2018 and have continued studying at Leeds as part of the NGN CDT funded by Sellafield Ltd.
Throughout the summer of 2017 and 2018, I have taken part in summer internships at the University of Leeds to provide supplementary information for the individual design project in the masters year. This included guides for designing in AutoCAD and a collection of resources available for students. I have also worked in the LEMAS department, providing help to PhD students in image analysis using FIJI-ImageJ.
Research interests
My general research interest is in situ, remote characterisation of suspensions using acoustic backscatter systems, pipe flow of homogeneous and heterogeneous suspensions for velocity profiling. I am currently working on investigation into the near field region of transducers as sound propagates through suspensions.
Took part in a WEUN (worldwide energy university network) conference in China as part of a summer school programme.
Currently work as a STEM ambassador bringing more BAME students into nuclear by providing talks and holding workshops within colleges and schools.
