01 · Oxford Brookes Racing · Vehicle Dynamics Team Member
MATLAB/Simulink damper modelling for Oxford Brookes Racing's 4-post rig.
Problem
I had to develop the damper model for the team’s 4PR vehicle simulation with damper dyno data.

02 · TMC Race Engineering
Corner-weight setup and race-day preparation with TMC Race Engineering.
03 · TMC Race Engineering
Tyre inspection, fault investigation and escalation at TMC Race Engineering.
My contribution
So I decided to see if the small screw had actually caused a puncture or not. So I went and grabbed the tyre pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure repeatedly at approximately one-minute intervals, comparing the measurements with previous readings.

During my BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Motorsport), I completed several assignments involving engine performance, fault diagnosis, servicing and repair.
Problem
One of the main practical projects involved working as part of a team to investigate and repair an engine that had experienced a loss of performance. The two scenarios involved an exhaust valve that was allowing compression to escape and a suspected piston ring failure. We were tasked with identifying the faults, carrying out the necessary repairs and rebuilding the engine.
Outcome
Helped Achieve a distinction
05 · College
Problem
I had to write three assignment pieces on electric vehicles. One to do with Power and Drive systems used Electric and Hybrid Vehicles, second one was to do with Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Motor types, Construction and manufacturing equipment.

Problem
Was in the line for scrutineering with the Ma7da and it had been raining all day so I knew it was going to be a wet race. So while waiting I was doing final checks and was testing the rain light as I knew was definitely going to be needed. As I was testing it a realised the rain light wasn’t turned on.
Outcome
The car passed scrutineeringand I then made sure this issue couldn’t happen again by making some modifications to the rain light.

Problem
During my time at TMC, I attended race days that often involved working for up to 15 hours. These long days really emphasised the importance of good teamwork and communication.
09 ·
Problem
I had just arrived for the day and was tasked with carrying out a spanner check on the Ma7da, as it had completed testing the previous day.
Outcome
Replacement Bolts ordered to rectify issue

Problem
During my time at college we had to design a lego gravity powered car in line with the Project Design Specification (PDS). This was then to be raced against fellow students. When designing the car we had very little support.

Problem
However, rather than manufacturing the physical product, I now had to create a CAD model incorporating my own design changes.
Outcome
I then evaluated each material through a thermal study, while also considering cost and manufacturability.
Following this analysis, I concluded that nylon was the best material for the application.
