As a Research Fellow in the Gravity Laboratory, my work focuses on enhancing sensor technology for fluid interfaces, shedding light on aspects of gravity research, cosmology and black-hole physics through experiments in fluid dynamics. With a strong foundation in physics and mathematics and proficiency in multiple programming languages within Linux environments, I bring a blend of analytical rigour and technical expertise to my work. This interdisciplinary approach has enabled significant advancements in understanding fluid dynamics and their broader implications. I am a former Innovate UK ICURe Discover participant, exploring the commercial potential of the optical sensing technology I developed during my PhD. This journey includes a patent application for our innovative sensor, aimed at providing real-time, high-precision 3D profiling of fluid surfaces across various industries.
