Final-year aerospace student at Queen Mary, which in practice means I split my time between simulating orbits that would take decades to fly and sanding carbon fibre that gets absolutely everywhere.
I run the composites side of QMUL's Formula Student car — nosecones and body panels taken from CAD file to resin-infused reality. There's a very specific joy in a part coming out of the mould exactly the way the screen promised, mostly because it almost never does first time.
The rest of my week goes to tutoring everyone from 11+ hopefuls to IB students — the best training I know for explaining hard things simply.
Design and assembly of carbon fibre body panels and aerodynamic nosecones from CAD to resin-infused layup, for a racecar built to IMechE specifications competing at Silverstone. Authored the CBOM for all composite components and coordinated fit and function with the chassis team.
what we've built →Prepare students for 11+, SATs, GCSEs, A-Levels, and the International Baccalaureate. Adapt teaching methods to diverse learning styles and maintain progress records with regular feedback to parents.

A propellant-efficient orbital transfer strategy for a chaser spacecraft to rendezvous with and remove multiple debris targets in low Earth orbit. Exploits J2-perturbation-induced nodal precession to reduce fuel costs — the simulation removes 19 debris objects in 1.65 years.
