  • Research Intern

    • Jul 2022 - Sep 2022
    • London, England, United Kingdom

    • Constructed preliminary dynamic cost models on Excel to forecast the economic viability of implementing Oort’s PEM electrolysers in a large scale green ammonia plant• Investigated both grid and renewable power source scenarios, finding that a renewable power source was advantageous with a predicted levelized cost of ammonia of £380/tonne NH3• Applied a sensitivity analysis to the model using VBA code, discovering that the cost of installing the renewable power source was the pivotal parameter that influences the levelized cost of ammonia• Wrote a technical report detailing the ammonia industry, encompassing conventional ammonia production and the challenges associated with integrating PEM electrolysers in Haber-Bosch loops

  Imperial College London

  • London, England, United Kingdom

  • Undergraduate Student Researcher

    • Jul 2021 - Sep 2021
    • London, England, United Kingdom

    • Synthesised novel single and dual atom metal electrocatalysts, targeting the oxygen reduction reaction in PEM hydrogen fuel cells• Tested the catalysts using a rotating disk electrode and compared results to current industrial benchmarks, discovering that catalyst performance was hindered by kinetic and mass transport effects• Adjusted and optimised reaction parameters, leading to an improvement of 0.9 mA/cm2 in catalyst activity and stability• Drafted a rotating disk electrode SOP with schematics and concise software guidance, ensuring that training time for new researchers was minimal

  • Student Engineering Insight

    • Jul 2018 - Jul 2018
    • Bristol, England, United Kingdom

    • Collaborated in a team of four to redesign an existing salt barn depot, capable of deploying salt to keep roads safe in icy conditions• Modified the structural framework and changed construction material, leading to an increase of 30% in salt capacity and prolonging the lifespan of the building by 35 years• Interpreted topological surveys of the site and streamlined the existing drainage scheme, resulting in efficient removal of wastewater and preventing the loss of soluble salt
