• Supported a multidisciplinary engineering team analysing vibration performance in building and structural systems, contributing to design-led decision making.
• Developed MATLAB-based analytical models to assess and optimise passive mechanical systems, supporting early-stage engineering design evaluations.
• Assessed alternative mechanical design options, achieving a 44% improvement in vibration performance metrics against defined design criteria.
• Improved model efficiency to enable rapid evaluation of multiple design options under constrained project timescales.
• Presented technical findings to senior engineers, supporting clear communication of design implications and project outcomes.

• Assisted with façade inspections by applying mechanical and structural principles to identify defects, assess risk, and inform remedial design strategies.
• Conducted site inspections in accordance with CDM 2015 and building compliance requirements, assessing fire stopping, weatherproofing, access, and maintainability.
• Developed a defect inspection tool to improve survey efficiency, presenting technical findings to senior management to support project funding decisions.
• Collaborated with senior engineers and surveyors on live projects, gaining exposure to MEP systems, plant coordination, electrical containment, and public health engineering.

• Co-developed a sustainability strategy to support the University of Bristol’s target of net zero carbon by 2030, selected for submission to the sustainability team.
• Conducted energy usage analysis and heat-loss modelling to identify operational and fabric-led energy reduction strategies using Building Energy Management Systems.
• Designed a hybrid wind-solar plant integrated into the veterinary campus, ensuring compliance with UK planning regulations, offsetting 29% of campus electricity demand.
• Conducted life-cycle cost analysis to assess financial viability, identifying a £1.3M annual net benefit and a 16-year break-even period

• Designed and developed a novel variable damper, applying vibration control principles to improve system performance.
• Utilised CAD for custom hydraulic components, ensuring technical drawings were compliant with ISO 286-2 and designed for manufacture.
• Built and tested a physical prototype, validating simulation results, achieving a 32.3% improvement in vibration suppression over baseline systems.

• Performed FEA structural assessments to verify deflection, stress, and safety factors under multiple load cases.
• Analysed strain gauge data to identify potential failure modes and inform inspection and maintenance planning.

• Completed self-directed learning on ESG principles within sustainable building design, informed by course materials and industry examples.

• Set membership pricing and pitched the annual budget, balancing income from 100+ members against expenditure, resulting in a 27% increase in membership revenue.
