About

I’m a solution-oriented physicist passionate about applying advanced computational techniques to tackle complex, real-world challenges. I specialise in simulating multi-physics systems, evaluating algorithmic methods, and developing optimisation techniques with broad cross-functional applications. My experience spans: • Novel algorithms e.g. HUBOs, simplex methods and differential evolution, • PNT, satcomm and sensor fusion technologies, • Modeling and evaluating novel RF technologies, Beyond computational programs, I’ve contributed to projects in powder rheology analysis, novel food-packaging solutions, and strategic market surveys to identify high-potential technologies for testing, partnerships, or M&A. I’ve authored and presented work on diverse topics – from hydrogen fuel cells and near-field optical microscopy to space debris identification using CubeSats, GNSS and terrain-adaptive efficiency simulations – tailored for both technical and general audiences. My goal is to apply cutting-edge techniques across disciplines to drive innovation and solve complex problems
