I am an engineer working at the intersection of structural design, robotics, and sustainable energy. One of my current research areas focuses on origami-enhanced dielectric fluid generators – a new type of wave energy harvester that converts ocean motion into electricity. This approach, recognised with an ECR Poster Prize at the 2025 Supergen ORE Annual Assembly, offers a scalable and resilient pathway for renewable power.
With ECR Flexible Funding support from N-ZEEE, I am developing predictive models and testing advanced dielectric materials to improve efficiency and output. The award will also facilitate and strengthen collaborations with the University of Plymouth, Imperial College London, Queen Mary University of London, and the University of Bristol, helping to lay the groundwork for next-generation ocean energy systems.
