Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.

My research spans hydrogen safety, combustion, hypersonic flow modelling, and machine learning. My work consists of computational fluid dynamics modelling coupled with detailed chemical kinetics simulations, aiming to improve understanding of high-speed reacting flow systems and energy generation systems. I have a particular focus on the applications of machine learning to reacting flow systems, and to scientific endeavours in general.
