I am currently a postdoctoral research associate in space technology at the University of Glasgow. My research interests are broadly in the fields space systems engineering and planetary science. As part of my research I primarily investigate orbits and their suitability for a given space mission. In my current role, I do this in the context of orbiting solar reflectors as a concept of space-based solar power to enhance the utility of solar power farms beyond the daylight hours.
