I am developing an active suspension concept for my MSc dissertation, focused on improving ride comfort, suspension control, packaging feasibility, and overall vehicle refinement. The project combines MATLAB/Simulink modelling, CAD packaging studies, control strategy comparison, and supplier research to assess what could realistically be implemented on a prototype vehicle.

Built to support race weekend analysis for Simon Green Motorsport while also expanding my own data analysis and programming skills. It combines lap timing, sector trends, race position, and VBOX data into one place, with the goal of making post-session review faster, clearer, and more useful.

During Britcar Endurance and Club Enduro race weekends, I work for Simon Green Motorsport carrying out vehicle preparation, pit stops, tyre management, garage operations, pre-race planning, live strategy, and post-session checks. Alongside the mechanical work, I analyse timing and telemetry data to identify performance trends and improve the team’s session reviews.

As part of a small team, I helped develop a simulation-based damper selection process for the Oxford Brookes Racing 2026 car using Adams and MATLAB. We calculated the car’s natural frequencies, evaluated its low- and high-speed damping requirements, and compared Multimatic damper curves under load transfer, road inputs, and kerb strikes, leading to the selection of the VC02 damper.

I analysed Calspan tire test data in MATLAB to better understand lateral force, friction coefficient, slip angle, load sensitivity, and temperature behaviour. I developed clear comparison plots and fitted tire-force curves to help connect the test data to vehicle setup and tire selection decisions.

I designed and 3D-printed a transparent rhizotron that allowed plant roots to grow in a near two-dimensional chamber for continuous observation. I then used epifluorescence microscopy and fluorescent dye to image root development, analyse root structures, and record time-lapse footage of growth through the transparent granular soil.

I used probability and expected-value analysis to investigate how different Keno selections affect the likelihood and value of potential returns. The work led to two published articles in Significance magazine and an appearance on the Stats + Stories podcast.
