Main Projects
DECODE: Decision Environment for Complex Design Evaluation. An ESPRC funded project where we are developing an agile UAV design environment and manufacturing process. Close ties with the Microsoft Institute for High Performance Computing, Rolls-Royce, and Airbus.
The SUMO Toolbox is a Matlab toolbox that automatically builds accurate surrogate models of a given data source within the accuracy and time constraints set by the user. The toolbox minimizes the number of data points (which it selects automatically) since they are usually expensive. Currently in use in a number of companies and universities.
Side Projects
Though much or my spare time has been limited recently, a collection of side projects with various degrees of polish can be found in my github repository.
First there was bread, then sliced bread, and then Stack Exchange. Not really a side project but whenever I need to do some coding Stackoverflow is indispensable and for the other things the wider Stack Exchange sites are just awesome.
Past Projects
The SULSA project was about designing, building, and flying the worlds first fully 3D printed aircraft. It was printed in just 4 separate pieces using selective laser sintering and assembled without any screws or traditional fastners. Its elliptical wings were modeled after the iconic Spitfire fighter and the whole geometry generated programmatically.
MDOW was a project in collaboration with Airbus that took a non-conventional view to solving the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization problem in aircraft design. The fundamental idea was to use an expert system to coordinate the activities of the domain level optimizers instead of a numeric optimizer. This allowed for more traceability and a human-in-the-loop.
Domo was an old university project started in order to learn C++ and has long served its purpose. Domo is a music organizer which indexes digital audio sources and manages metadata in a relational database. Musicbrainz support is also available for the looking up of Audio CDs or for identifying tracks based on their TRM fingerprint.
