About
I am a highly accomplished mechanical engineer with extensive experience in experimental research and design engineering (including software such as AutoCAD, and Solidworks). With a strong educational background encompassing both a PhD and MTech in Mechanical Engineering, I have actively contributed to pioneering projects, such as developing novel optical diagnostic methods and machine learning algorithms for spray analysis. My dedication to teaching and mentoring is underscored by my roles as a laboratory reports marker, tutor, and instructor, and I have presented my research findings at esteemed international conferences and journals. My exceptional analytical and numerical skills, coupled with a broad range of technical proficiencies, including expertise in various design and simulation software, render me well-equipped to excel in complex engineering environments. I am driven by a passion for innovation and a track record of success in both academia and industry, and I look forward to continually pushing the boundaries of mechanical engineering in future endeavours
