Air Navigation and Air Traffic Management
Sector entries and demand
Software that works out when each flight enters each airspace sector over a day of traffic, and flags sectors where demand exceeds declared capacity.
Projects
By field
The same projects, grouped by field. Each project sits in one field; the year view shows them in order.

Air Navigation and Air Traffic Management
Sectorization of the Barcelona FIR
Genetic algorithms and Voronoi diagrams used to split the Barcelona flight information region into sectors with balanced controller workload.
Air Navigation and Air Traffic Management
Arrival management at Vienna under reduced capacity
A modelled capacity drop at Vienna airport, used to compare ground delay and ground holding programmes on delay, emissions, cost and fairness.
Aerodynamics and Fluid Simulation
Aerodynamics and Fluid Simulation
AirfoilLab
A browser airfoil simulator for lift, drag and moment, and a study of how AI tools change the way an engineering project is developed.
Aerodynamics and Fluid Simulation
Inviscid flow around bodies
A finite-difference stream-function solver for steady, inviscid 2D flow around cylinders, airfoils and arbitrary shapes.

Beechcraft Bonanza A36 in SolidWorks
A personal CAD project: the whole fuselage of a Beechcraft Bonanza A36 modelled in SolidWorks, with a working nose landing gear that retracts into it.
Electronics and Control

Drone iron bird on Arduino
A test bench that reproduces the internal systems of a drone on an Arduino Mega: sensors, motor control with a safety switch, power monitoring, a stabilised mode, collision avoidance and a telemetry display.
Electronics and Control
Tilt measurement and alarm prototype
An ADXL335 and Arduino prototype that detects lateral tilt from the vertical-axis acceleration and switches on a DC motor and warning LEDs past a threshold.

The Magic of Sound: acoustic levitation
A single-axis acoustic levitator used to measure the speed of sound from the spacing of standing-wave nodes, at 20 °C and at 4 °C.
