PROFILE
Research & engineering
I work independently on technical questions in physics, aerospace engineering and space systems.
My work focuses on understanding how physical principles translate into practical engineering systems. I use mathematical modelling, numerical simulation and software development to investigate problems that range from orbital dynamics to large-scale space infrastructure.
Much of my research begins with a conceptual question and develops into a quantitative model. The aim is not simply to produce a concept, but to identify the physical constraints, assumptions and engineering bottlenecks that determine whether an idea could work.
RESEARCH AREAS
What I work on
Orbital Mechanics
Studying orbital dynamics, perturbations, propagation methods and the behaviour of spacecraft under different gravitational and environmental conditions.
Space Systems
Developing and analysing concepts for spacecraft, habitats, transportation infrastructure and other systems intended for long-duration space operations.
Computational Physics
Building software and numerical models to explore physical systems that are difficult to investigate analytically.
Future Space Infrastructure
Investigating large-scale concepts such as orbital transportation systems, lunar infrastructure and megascale energy systems.
METHOD
How I approach research
01 · PHYSICS
Start with the physical model
I begin by identifying the relevant physical laws, constraints and assumptions before developing a technical solution.
02 · COMPUTATION
Turn assumptions into models
Where analytical solutions are insufficient, I use numerical simulation and software to investigate system behaviour.
03 · VALIDATION
Look for weaknesses
Results are tested against physical limits, alternative assumptions and independent feedback wherever possible.
04 · DOCUMENTATION
Make the work reproducible
Research, calculations, software and supporting material are documented so that the underlying reasoning can be inspected and developed further.
