I design and build instruments that unite physics, sensing, control and software: ultrasonic imaging systems, machine vision instruments, robots and industrial machines. My work runs end to end, from wave physics and inversion algorithms through C/C++ firmware, FPGA design and custom PCBs, to validated, deployed hardware.
PhD in Electronic Engineering (2026, SPE3D Ultrasonic Lab, London South Bank University) on 3D ultrasound imaging of the crystal structure of ice cores. Creator of the Yertle quadruped robot and a suite of open-source ultrasonic instruments.
Founder of BugBotLab: a tiny robot and 400 free lessons that teach GCSE and A level computer science, robotics and university-level control, estimation and planning, all in Python on a simulated robot.
