Biography
He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (MIMechE). He received his Mechanical Engineering (Class I) honours degree from Heriot-Watt University in 2010 and his PhD from the University of Leeds in 2013. Research output includes peer-reviewed journal publications in Applied Energy, Architectural Science Review, Building and Environment, Energy in Buildings, Journal of Wind Engineering & Industrial Aerodynamics and Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews.
Research Interest
In this modern age low-energy devices are pervasive especially when considering their applications in the built-environment. The multitude of low-energy applications extend from wireless sensors, radio-frequency transceivers, charging devices, cameras and other small-scale electronic devices. The energy consumptions of these devices range in the milliwatt and microwatt scale which is a result of continuous development of these technologies. Thus, renewable wind energy harnessed from the aeroelastic, triboelectric and peizoelectic effect can play a pivotal role in providing sufficient power for extended operation with little or no battery replacement.
