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 working with the Centre for Sustainable Road Freight on investigating strategies for electrification of road freight around the world. I also currently serve as Board Member of the International Forum for Heavy Vehicle Transport & Technology (HVTT Forum).
