Research
Six lines of work in aerospace engineering, each with its publications, keywords and, where available, code and data.
Electric and hybrid propulsion
Battery management systems, thermal modelling of propulsion batteries, airworthiness and reliability of electric and hybrid-electric powertrains.
Aircraft design, systems thinking and digital twins
Digital twins of engines and aircraft in the design process, parametric engine models, data-driven thermal performance and design complexity.
Solar stratospheric platforms
Coupled environment–sizing–mission models for high-altitude platforms: wing sizing at low Reynolds number, ascent options, station-keeping in stratospheric winds, swarm communication.
Fuels, combustion and emissions
Hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels: economics, risk, well-to-pump emissions, combustion modelling and instability control.
Aerodynamics, surrogates and UAV design
Machine-learning surrogates for airfoil performance, CFD comparison of UAV configurations, path planning and noise-reducing wing edges.
Aviation systems, operations and sustainability
Airport ground support equipment, maintenance process improvement, regulation, wind energy assessment, fire-fighting fleet effectiveness, airspace risk.
