Started as an Ergonomic and Human Factors MSc student. Transitioned into a PhD looking into how 3D scanning can be used to improve and personalise protective equipment. Background in Mechanical Engineering and Survivability (Armour protection)
Thesis title: An Uncomfortable Truth: A Scan-Fit-Print Solution for Personalising Body Armour Design.
Investigating a "Scan-Fit-Print" workflow for personalised body armour, supervised by Dr Andrew Johnson.
The work integrates 3D body scanning, digital anthropometry and additive manufacturing to tackle the poor fit and discomfort of current armour, and the sizing standards that fail diverse populations.
