My research looks to improve upon the current sound proofing in jet engine inlets by focusing on low frequency noise. By using innovative metamaterials, I am creating a maze-like pattern in which noise becomes trapped. These mazes are aiming to be lighter and thinner than traditional methods and work at a broader frequency range.
I completed my master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Loughborough, then when straight on to my PhD. I really enjoyed my undergraduate experience, both the student life and teaching at Loughborough, and during that time discussed with my personal tutor and my supervisor the possibility of a PhD. I was really drawn to the variety and flexibility with the PhD opportunities at Loughborough, so I decided to stay.
