I'm a final-year MEng Aerospace Engineering student at Queen Mary University of London.

I lead composites at QM Formula Student, where we design and manufacture the carbon-fibre bodywork for our formula-style car. It involves plenty of CAD, resin infusion and sanding, as well as learning how to do all this on a budget.

My recent research focused on a very different problem: how to route a spacecraft between multiple pieces of debris in low Earth orbit while using as little propellant as possible.
