I am an electrical engineer with experience across complex and safety-critical system design, modelling, integration, and certification programmes at leading engineering organisations. My background spans the full engineering lifecycle, from early concept and feasibility through to testing and delivery, with a particular interest in power systems and their role in next generation platforms. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work alongside multidisciplinary teams and contribute to both technical delivery and research-oriented work.
Recently joined GE Vernova as a Lead Power Systems Engineer within the Power Conversion & Storage division.
During my time at Rolls-Royce, I worked across the Power Systems Architecture, Electrical System Design, and Electrical Systems Capability departments within the aerospace division, contributing primarily to the development of HV and LV electrical systems for next-generation aircraft. My responsibilities covered requirements and interface management using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods, as well as conducting and supporting electrical modelling activities for power system studies — including load flow, short-circuit, harmonics, and arc flash analysis. I also supported the integration of electrical systems and components, collaborating closely with thermal, mechanical, controls, safety, and V&V engineers. In addition, I led comprehensive research and strategy development on arc fault management within the aircraft propulsion system, and played an active role in the design of insulation parameters to ensure optimal system performance and safety. Beyond my project responsibilities, I served as an industrial supervisor on behalf of Rolls-Royce for PhD research projects conducted in collaboration with University Technology Centres (UTCs).
As a member of the System Design Team, I was responsible for the electrical system design, installation, testing, and certification of radar and electronic warfare systems integrated into aircraft electrical architectures — spanning fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs. My role began with interpreting customer requirements and conducting feasibility studies covering capacity analysis, architectural connection decisions, and preliminary layout planning to develop effective system solutions. This was followed by concept down-selection involving Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Transformer Rectifier Units (TRUs), and the Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) — covering connectors, cables, EMI shielding and environmental protective materials, and grounding and bonding provisions in accordance with FAA design principles. The work then progressed through supplier engagement, procurement support, and testing against aerospace standards including DO-160, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-810, followed by the preparation of certification compliance documentation, execution of electrical installation and integration activities on the platform, and acceptance testing with the customer. Beyond my primary responsibilities, I also contributed to research into the development of solid-state power controllers for secondary power distribution in aircraft.
