Major Project
I designed the driver’s environment for the 2012 Aston Formula Student car. This includes components such as the pedal box, seat, headrest and steering wheel. All these components encompass a variety of materials and manufacturing methods, ranging from Carbon Fibre curing to sheet metal work.
To ensure everyone from the smallest female to the largest male can fit in the environment, anthropometric data and ergonomics were key. I also acted as the design manager for the car, which involved overseeing the design of the complete car ensuring that there were no interferences between different components.
My Next 3 Years
In 3 years I hope to have a successful and promising career within the automotive engineering industry.
