The University of Manchester · Manchester, United Kingdom · 9 mos

Role listed on the personal site's timeline, alongside graduating First-Class. The site separately lists a research post (Aug 2025 to Apr 2026) on adaptive impedance control for nuclear decommissioning, deployed on 7-DOF KINOVA and Franka arms with formal stability and safety guarantees. Designed and analysed a safe robust adaptive impedance-control framework using nonsmooth Control Barrier Functions. Used adaptive interval type-2 fuzzy logic and robust-control techniques; reports proving uniform ultimate boundedness under mild assumptions and safety limits via Nagumo’s theorem and set-based derivatives. The earlier portfolio identifies the RAICo affiliation.

Intel Corporation · Marlow, United Kingdom · 1 yr 2 mos

Year in industry listed on the personal site (Jul 2023 to Aug 2024); the site names the role as an FPGA role at Altera. LinkedIn names Intel; prior portfolio names Altera for the same placement. Implemented duplicate-MAC search on FPGA-based Virtio devices, refactored IPU management tooling and developed Python tests. Designed and simulated Snappy RTL and a test system, reporting 10% better compression ratio and 30% higher average speed than software at 1 MHz; the reported 1000% legacy-search improvement is self-reported.
