Overview
Currently a second-year doctoral researcher and a member of the Turbomachinery and Energy Systems Research Group at City, University of London, where she is conducting research on the decarbonisation of decentralised energy systems through the integration of local hydrogen production and utilisation.
Previously, she completed an MEng in Aeronautical Engineering from the same university, during which time she engaged in a number of research projects. These included a summer research internship in which she developed a framework for the techno-economic assessment of small-scale combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) systems, with a focus on emissions performance for urban applications, which resulted in a conference publication in the IGTC. She also worked part-time as a research assistant on the economic feasibility of implementing vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) to power stand-alone reverse osmosis desalination systems in developing countries, while completing her thesis on the blade optimisation of VAWTs for reliant self-start. Additionally, she developed a deep convolutional network classifier for space applications in the robotics field as part of a research internship.
These previous experiences have fostered her interest in the current research topic, in which she is able to combine her passions for energy engineering and policing, low carbon technologies and sustainability, and computational modelling.
