I am a transport designer and researcher am currently a PhD candidate in Intelligent Mobility at the IMDC at the Royal College of Art. I am particularly interested in the design of transport systems that democratise mobility and my PhD is focussing on the inclusive design of shared autonomous vehicles. I recently graduated from Coventry University's Automotive and Transport Design Research (MDes) programme, where my thesis focused on how the design and implementation of shared autonomous vehicles can encourage users to adopt this new technology.
In 2018, my research into passenger experience on high speed rail systems and the resulting design of a high speed train, won the 3rd place prize in the TRA Visions Young Researcher competition and was exhibited at the Transport Research Arena conference.
I have also spent time working on the design of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles at Microcab Industries and researching the opportunities for small businesses arising from the introduction of autonomous vehicles while working at WMG, Warwick University.
