• PhD Research Engineer

  • Dec 2010 - Apr 2015

  Researching a novel diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration system that utilises pulsed discharges as the major cleaning method. A 3 year project run in conjunction with the EPSRC and multiple private 3rd parties, one of whom is a large multi-national in the off-highway industry. This project has been truly multi-disciplinary, taking in aspects of mechanical, electrical and high voltage engineering. As such it has allowed me to work as part of a highly capable research team possessing multifarious skills and who posses highly respected expertise. A key part of my work on this project focuses on the usage of digital imaging, processing and computer based electrical circuit simulation in order to characterise clearly, the enabling aspect of the regeneration technology; the auto-selective nature of the spark discharge within the DPF. Additionally I have been able to utilise creativity in designing bespoke experimental apparatus and developing experimental methods in order to obtain the necessary quality of data befitting of research at this level. An example of this was the design of a specialist DPF canister allowing visual access to the filter substrate during filter loading and regeneration. I have been able author a paper for the SAE Technical Paper Series, the contents of which were presented to a large audience at the SAE world congress in Detroit in April 2013. I am also co-author of two further papers available in peer reviewed journals and a am currently preparing a second paper covering experimental methods directly related to the PhD This work has also allowed me great experience of: * Specifying and installing data acquisition equipment for an engine test cell. * Extensive engine running/test cell operation * Exposure to TRL processes * Quarterly progress presentations to UK and US partners * Project management

• Graduate Engineer

  • Aug 2009 - Dec 2010

  Graduate Engineer role at Alstom steam turbine retrofit division based in Rugby, Warwickshire. Highlights include: Developing a spread sheet with custom macros to aid the tracking of turbine parts from factory through to installation. Project and site managers were able to keep track of what parts had left the factory, what was currently in transit, what had arrived at site (and where it was stored) and what had been used or retrofitted at the power plant. This was kept in a central location for all involved to be kept in the loop. It was well received and subsequently used on further projects. I travelled to Cape Town, SA to work on the Koeberg nuclear plant retrofit. My responsibility there was the creation, delivery and management of quality control documentation which required tight co-ordination between multiple engineering teams (Alstom, Alstom France, Eskom, Rotek). This helped to ensure retrofit progressed on time and met the required standard of work expected of Alstom.
