Analysed longitudinal UK survey data to investigate mental-health trajectories and relationships with sociodemographic variables. Conducted data wrangling, statistical modelling and visualisation using R and Python, contributing analysis to a co-authored research preprint published in 2026.

EngPAL Leader

Edinburgh University Students' Association | Sep 2025 - May 2026

Led peer-assisted learning sessions for engineering students, facilitating collaborative problem-solving and communicating technical concepts to students with different levels of understanding.

Engineering Intern

China Railway Construction Co., Ltd. | Jul 2024 - Sep 2024

Interpreted engineering drawings and technical information while supporting project development and maintenance activities in a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

Interdisciplinary Academic Poster Presenter

University of Edinburgh | Jul 2024

Presented interdisciplinary work on AI translation mechanisms and transnational communication at an event spanning Informatics, Engineering and Social Sciences.

Global Buddies Leader

Edinburgh University Students' Association | 2022 - 2023

Supported international student engagement and communication through the University's Global Buddies programme.

Featured Projects

Optical Fibre Receiver & PCB

Altium • LTspice/PSpice • Analogue Electronics • PCB Design

Designed and simulated circuitry for an optical-fibre receiver, developed the PCB, and progressed the design through physical construction and laboratory testing. Integrated an audio amplifier with the receiver system and tested the completed hardware.

FPGA Digital Design

FPGA • Digital Electronics • Hardware Testing

Completed practical FPGA-based digital design work, including implementation and testing of an LED-control application.

Embedded Systems & Circuit Simulation

STM32 • STM32CubeIDE • LTspice/PSpice

Used STM32 and STM32CubeIDE in embedded-systems laboratory work and applied circuit simulation tools across electronics design tasks, combining software development with hardware-level testing.

Data Analysis Research

Python • R • Statistical Modelling • Data Visualisation

Analysed longitudinal UK survey data to study mental-health trajectories and sociodemographic relationships, contributing analytical work to a co-authored 2026 research preprint.

PizzaDronz Delivery System

Java • REST API • Spring Framework

Developed a pizza delivery application interfacing with REST APIs for order processing and drone delivery management, including validation logic and flight-path optimisation.
