Staff Profile

I was awarded the BEng degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Newcastle University in 2010, and the PhD for my research on induction motor control in 2014, again from Newcastle University

Since then, I have worked on a variety of research projects covering electrical machines, power electronics, and their control, collaborating with both academic and industrial partners.

I have worked on an integrated drive system based around a switched reluctance machine for low voltage electric vehicles, modelled axial flux machines for high volume applications, and implemented a control scheme for a fault-tolerant aerospace actuator, amongst other projects. Recent interests include design and analysis of magnetic bearings and bearingless motors.

Research interests include:

• Design and analysis of electrical machines
• Modelling techniques for electrical machine design
• Control of electric drives
• Magnetic levitation and bearingless machines
• Fault-tolerant drive systems
