MEng Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering @ University of Southampton
Final year Mechanical/Aerospace engineering student specialising in CAD, data analysis and code. Industry experience at Airbus DS and Subsea7.
Now leading CAD on a 30% scale 2026-spec F1 model and aiming for a career in design/simulation engineering.
The team's role is to produce, develop and maintain engineering tools for the physical design of Airbus’ space products.
My work focused on innovation: creating new CAD models in 3DX/CATIA v5/Blender/Unity and developing prototype applications in C#/WPF. I also built an AR viewer for 3DX models and presented AR/VR tools to senior Airbus leadership and other VIPs.
The main projects are listed below.
Part of the Rigid Pipelines team, working on the design and assessment of non-flexible subsea pipelines.
I received training in buckling, fatigue mitigation and industry standards, and performed FEA of complex pipe routes using ANSYS-based tools. I also developed a Python application that automatically generated report appendices and graphs from ANSYS output, complete with a user-friendly GUI.
The main projects are listed below.
