Hello! Welcome to my homepage.
I am a PhD Candidate and Stephen Thomas Scholar at the University of Cambridge.
My research interests include automotive controls, vehicle dynamics, sustainable road freight, transportation, electric vehicles, and autonomous driving.
I am presently working with the Centre for Sustainable Road Freight on investigating strategies for electrification of road freight across the world. I am open to collaborations with government organisations, transport operators and OEMs for research on this topic.
