Tharsus

Principal Engineer

April 2019 - Present

Working at the intersection of mechanical, electronic and software engineering to deliver robotic systems and smart, connected machines for customers.

Northumbria University

Senior Lecturer

July 2017 - April 2019

Responsible for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Classical Mechanics, Vehicle Aerodynamics, and Vehicle Dynamics. I also supervised final-year project students, providing guidance and support for their academic endeavors. Additionally, my role included conducting research in active flow control for aerodynamics, with a special focus on zero net mass flux and plasma-based actuators.

Williams Formula One

Aerodynamicist

March 2013 - July 2017

I developed software tools and contributed to the aerodynamic designs for the race car, enhancing its performance and efficiency. I orchestrated and executed comprehensive wind tunnel testing initiatives, which involved planning and execution, ultimately culminating in detailed analytical reports based on the data gathered. Additionally, I worked on machine-learning models to augment the wind tunnel data, correlating it with computational models and on-track data, thus bridging the gap between theoretical predictions and practical outcomes.

Toyota Formula One

Junior Aerodynamicist

July 2007 - August 2008

I was involved in the development of the TF108 car. My role included overseeing 100 hours of wind tunnel testing, where I was responsible for planning test schedules and liaising with model designers. Additionally, I reported on the aerodynamic performance of the wind tunnel model, providing crucial insights and data to inform the team's strategy and car design decisions.
