I was previously an automotive engineering student at Loughborough University and interested in the optimisation of the internal combustion engine. Towards the end of my studies, there was a strong voice from the environmental sector to the automotive industry regarding Green House emissions. This made me think and reconsider my career path.

I was exposed to the concept of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCVs) by chance, and since then I have been interested in the research relevant to the HFCVs. Amongst all topics, the safe 'retrofitting' of fuel cells into areas with little prior experience of hydrogen, especially cars, is the one that will raise a multitude of new issues. My supervisors were really approachable and can always help me spot the certain points that I haven't even noticed myself, and it is great to be in such a supportive research team full of opportunities.
