Profile
I’m in my second year of Physics with Astrophysics at University of Leicester, with experience in experimental physics, electronics and data analysis.
Alongside lab work, I build independent projects that take physics into engineering problems: vehicle telemetry, control systems, vibration analysis and aircraft flight dynamics.
Looking to work in
02 / independent projects
Independent builds in Python, each with its code and documentation on GitHub.
A data pipeline using real F1 telemetry to compare speed, throttle and braking between drivers, showing exactly where lap time is gained or lost.
Modelled the electrical and mechanical behaviour of a DC motor using RK4 numerical integration, then compared P, PI and PID controllers on tracking and load disturbance.
A fault detection system using FFT and Hilbert envelope analysis on simulated vibration signals, extracting features to tell healthy machines from faulty ones.
A 2D aircraft simulation with atmospheric conditions, lift, drag, thrust and feedback control, used to study how extra mass and headwinds change climb performance, trajectory and thrust required.
03 / Laboratory work
University laboratory work: calibration, regression and uncertainties.
Calibrated a Michelson interferometer and analysed interference fringes with linear regression in R, assessing calibration scatter and fringe instability.
Built an LCR circuit and swept frequency to find resonance, bandwidth and Q factor, compared measured and theoretical dielectric behaviour and jointly wrote a 24 page technical report.
Investigated electron motion in a magnetic field using a cathode ray tube and Helmholtz coils, applying regression and uncertainty analysis and identifying the beam radius measurements as the main source of uncertainty.
Designed and simulated logic gates, potential dividers and RC filters in KiCad and SPICE, then built and tested inverting, non-inverting and summing amplifiers and a 4 bit digital to analogue converter.
Prepared a space mission proposal and critical reviews, and presented research on an astrophysics topic.
Experiments on vibrations, projectile motion, pendulums, temperature measurement and friction, each with full data and uncertainty analysis.
