Nottingham, United Kingdom I am passionate about water conservation and water efficiency. I am concerned over the lack of available fresh water that can sustain our future. I want to stop water being wasted in the form of leaks and burst pipes - up to 60% of all water (worldwide) is lost this way! This is why I created Quensus, a company specialising in water management and leak detection, to increase awareness and efficiency of water consumption. We empower customers to self-manage their water consumption… Show more I am passionate about water conservation and water efficiency.

Rugby Advanced Technology Group: Designed and simulated a fault within a HVDC infrastructure of wind turbines to discover the chance of re-strike in LVDC VCBs after the current had decreased to a low enough value using the “foldback” characteristic. Helped prove that a snubber circuit was not needed which consequently saved the company a large amount of money.
