AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING & RESEARCH
Graduate Automotive Engineer
MSc Automotive Engineering graduate combining nearly three years of industrial mechanical experience with academic work in vehicle modelling, powertrain analysis and PEM fuel cells. I am seeking engineering roles and PhD opportunities that connect system modelling with experimental evaluation.

I am interested in PEM fuel-cell performance, electrified powertrains and vehicle control. My current foundation is in practical fuel-cell testing, MATLAB/Simulink analysis and mechanical engineering. During doctoral research, I would like to develop stronger methods for parameter sensitivity studies, repeatable experiments and comparisons between model predictions and measurements.
Manuscript in preparation. I am developing my MSc fuel-cell dissertation into a research paper for journal submission.

01 / ACADEMIC WORK
Research and coursework from my MSc Automotive Engineering at the University of Hertfordshire.
Tested an educational PEM fuel-cell system across ten runs and analysed electrical output and operating duration. Also interpreted a separate automotive-scale Simscape study. Includes original apparatus photographs and reviewed research downloads.
The bench experiments and automotive-scale simulation are separate studies. The simulation was not directly validated against the educational stack.
Compared two driving cycles in MATLAB/Simulink. The coursework reports a 5.08% range increase for Drive Cycle 1 with a higher regeneration coefficient. Includes the simulation report and model limitations.

Compared spring and damper settings in a two-degree-of-freedom model. The checked numerical reference gives 21.4% lower body displacement RMS for the nominal bump, with 9.3% higher peak dynamic tyre load. Includes code, assumptions and results.
