- Objective: Developing and evaluating engineering solutions for a new potable water supply system to meet increased demand in the Aberdeen Water Operational Area. The design must ensure reliable water abstraction, treatment, transmission, and storage while minimising whole-life carbon emissions and supporting a net-zero future.
- My Contribution: Spearheaded fluid network calculations (routing,pressure drop, pipe sizing) , Cad drawing of the pump stations and programmed a code that reveals the optimal pipe diameter for minimised carbon emission.
- Key Deliverables: Technical Reports, Project Results and Software Code.
- Objective: End-to-end developing a 5 Volt output wind turbine device that converts wind energy into a Morse code light signal communicating “IT IS WINDY” at wind speeds between 10 m/s and 20 m/s. The device will achieve a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 prototype level while meeting constraints on size, cost, manufacturability, and mechanical integration through the use of a gearing system.
- My Contribution: Designed the generator in AutoCad, evaluated the design using Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM), fabricated the generator using CNC milling and programmed the Arduino code.
- Key Deliverables: Technical Reports, Project Results and Software Code.
- Objective: Investigating and comparing solar energy potential, market development, policies, and photovoltaic (pv) technologies between the UK and a selected country. Then design and evaluate suitable PV systems for both locations through technical and economic analysis, while also assessing current and emerging solar thermal applications.
- My Contribution: Conducted extensive reseearch on the solar resource, market and policies between Gibraltar, UK and Madrid, Spain. Then used PVSyt to design and evaluate the PV solar farm potential.
- Key Deliverables: Technical Reports and Project Results.
- Objective: Assessing and suggesting the best option for extending the Penmanshiel Wind Farm by increasing its installed capacity by at least 10 MW. This will be achieved by evaluating the wind resource, site suitability, environmental impacts, and expected energy output to develop an efficient and practical wind farm extension.
- My Contribution: Analysed 10 years of raw wind speed data using Excel automation to calculate Weibull distribution parameters, forecasted annual energy production (AEP), tuned the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller of the proposed wind turbine and run the simulation model to assess performance on Ashes.
- Key Deliverables: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Simulation Models.
- Objective: Designing a self-adaptive, multilayer composite fire protection panel named BioShield, utilizing biomimicry principles inspired by tree bark, skin, and nacre to achieve lightweight thermal insulation, structural reinforcement, and real-time hazard monitoring.

My Contribution: Developed the functional stratification layout, analyzing the cellular properties of a cellulose-based aerogel core to minimize thermal conductivity below
$0.05\text{ W/mK}$ and evaluating a nacre-inspired brick-and-mortar matrix for structural stability. - Key Deliverables: Technical Reports.
- Objective: Simulating the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou (FPUT) lattice to investigate how energy transfers between vibrational modes in a nonlinear system and why it exhibits recurrence instead of thermalisation.
- My Contribution: Programmed a Python simulation framework using NumPy and Matplotlib to model the FPUT lattice with RK4 time integration, nonlinear force calculations, and fixed boundary conditions. Modal energy analysis and visualisation of energy transfer across modes were used to observe recurrence behaviour.
- Key Deliverables: Software Code.
- Objective: Developing a Python-based annunciator panel that monitors a sensor voltage input and provides visual status indication using a BlinkStick LED device.
- My Contribution: Programmed a Python control logic that reads sensor values through the scada.py library, implements the voltage threshold conditions, and controls the BlinkStick LED outputs.
