• Senior Mechanical Engineer

  • Oct 2018 - Sep 2022

  At Allseas I worked as part of the mechanical design team for the novel and new Allseas Jacket Lift System and Deep Sea Mining systems, as well as on the concept design of an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion power station. Within my role I was responsible for leading the design of sub-components, providing direction to engineering disciplines, both internally and at subcontractors. I had responsibility for the planning, ensuring that compromises are agreed across disciplines and that the detailed design conforms to the design requirements. Show less

• Project Engineer

  • Jan 2016 - Oct 2018

  As a Project Engineer at DRG, I was responsible for managing a range of projects in addition to conducting projects myself. My projects often combined multiple disciplines, including piping static stress analysis (ASME B31.3/EN13480), thermal transient analysis of vessels according to ASME VIII-2/EN13445, pulsation studies according to API618 and API674, pressure transient (surge) in pipelines, and solving dynamic vibration problems.I was also responsible for the development of our Pulsations and Vibrations, and our Mechanical service areas. Here I was responsible for customer relations, business development and keeping abreast of new technologies in these areas. DRG is also a provider of training services. I gave training courses in ASME VIII-2 Part 5 using finite element software, pressure vessel design codes and pulsation analysis. Show less

• PhD Engineering Science

  • Sep 2007 - Apr 2011

  Thesis title: Coherent Unsteadiness in Film CoolingFilm cooling is part of the cooling strategy for the turbine of a jet engine, and my project was aimed at increasing the understanding of its unsteady behaviour. As part of my research I was involved in designing experiment facilities, and conducting experiments using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Hot Wire Anemometry. I also performed simulations using an in-house Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code.

• Tutor

  • Sep 2009 - Mar 2011

  I gave tutorials in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to small groups of students, interviewed potential new undergraduate students and set practice exams.
