Personal profile
Overview
I began my career as an apprentice in the 3D printing labs, where I built a strong foundation in additive manufacturing. I have since progressed into a role at the Henry Royce Institute, where I oversee the operation of 3D printers, electrospinners, and a range of characterisation equipment, as well as supporting sample preparation. Alongside this, I remain actively involved in the apprentice program mentoring new apprentices and contributing to the ongoing development of the scheme.
