My engineering study began upon leaving high school in 2000 and moving to a sixth form college for an AVCE in engineering. Subsequently started at the University of Southampton on the Engineering Foundation Year in 2002/03. The following 4 years were spent completing the undergraduate masters (MEng) degree programme 2003-2007. Third year individual project title was "Teaching aids for the design of supersonic nozzles" and the 4th year group design project title was "Aerodynamic testing of a 1/3 scale open wheeled race car model". I am now involved in research on the 4 year Engineering Doctorate (EngD) programme on my thesis titled "Fluid Loads and Motion of Damaged Ships" (2007-present). The research areas I have been involved in as part of this project include waves, ship motions, orifice flow and violent free surface behaviour, both experimentally and computational simulation.
