Personal profile
Experience
I am currently a R&D consultant developing photonic and DSP technologies for the investigation of nano-micro scale surface roughness in colloboration with Applied Automation Ltd. Between 2022-2024, I managed the delivery of several IoT measurement technologies utilising LP-WAN technologies. Between 2022-2023, I developed a lab-scale prototype to measure nano-micro scale surface roughness for polymer applications in colloboration with Airflo Fishing Products Ltd and Applied Automation Ltd. Between 2019 - 2023, I developed a lab-scale prototype to measure nano-scale metallic layers utilising EM radiation in colloboration with Tata Steel UK. Between 2015 - 2019, I delivered several concept feasibility studies at the HSM (IoT and crop optimization) and Sinter Plant (minimise emissions) at Tata Steel UK. Between 2008 - 2015, I was an Electronic Warfare Systems Specialist in the British Army, focused on electronic communications depolyment, operation and exploitation through wired/wireless networks (typically HF/VHF/UHF/SHF).
