Personal profile
Research interests
I work in the University's Flight Lab, using aerial robotics (drones) in collaboration with diverse partners. I'm interested in scientific, conservation, search and rescue, and humanitarian contexts. Bringing together increased autonomy, beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations and innovative data analysis can enable efficient, safer, and more versatile sensing and impact.
I also take an evidence-based approach to my educational work, collaborating and sharing practice and experience in large group design projects; I work in large-scale international collaborations developing emerging researchers and networks (I'm currently Training lead for http://wilddrone.eu); and support development of national and international accreditation and quality assurance practices.
