Projects

• Securing Aeolus Against Atomic OxygenScript development for an ESA documentary exploring how engineers tested protective spacecraft materials for the Aeolus wind-mapping mission against highly reactive atomic oxygen in low Earth orbit.
• Bake In SpaceBake In Space was a space-food innovation project developing a safe, low-power system for baking fresh, crumb-free bread aboard the International Space Station. The project used bread as a practical technology demonstration for improving food quality, wellbeing and long-term self-sufficiency in human spaceflight.
• BreezoMeter — Information on Air Quality and PollenEditorial and science-communication work for BreezoMeter, a personalised environmental-information service that combines big data, machine learning, monitoring observations and Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service data to provide local air-quality and pollen information worldwide.
• DiscovAirEditorial and science-communication work for DiscovAir, a personalised environmental-information service that used Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service data to help people plan trips and outdoor activities in Greece and Cyprus.
• Keeping Gaia's MemoryScript development for an ESA documentary about diagnosing a failed onboard memory module during pre-flight testing of the Gaia spacecraft, using non-destructive 3D X-ray tomography to determine the cause of the fault.
• The Prompt Emission from Gamma Ray BurstsA final-year MPhys directed reading project at the University of Leicester reviewing the leading theories for the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and assessing how well they stand up against observational evidence. The work culminated in a literature portfolio, a short lecture course outline, a 40-minute lecture and a set of problems for students.
• Lunar Exploration Interactive DocumentaryEditorial development and content-promotion work for ESA’s Lunar Exploration Interactive Documentary, an award-winning web experience that makes lunar science, technology and future missions accessible through expert video, articles, visual storytelling and social-media campaigns.
• airTEXT — Air Quality at a GlanceEditorial and science-communication work for Riga airTEXT, a public air-quality forecasting service that combined Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service data with local high-resolution modelling to help Riga residents understand and prepare for changing air quality.
• Rosetta Strato CampaignA digital and educational campaign inspired by ESA's Rosetta mission and the Philae lander, combining design, storytelling and public engagement to communicate the mission and support a charity campaign.
• Getting Vega's Launch Tower MovingScript development for an ESA documentary explaining the engineering challenge of moving Vega's mobile launch tower at Europe’s Spaceport. The film explores the materials science, structural engineering and operational requirements behind moving the 1,000-tonne service structure away from the rocket before launch.
• VortexEditorial and science-communication work for an ECMWF and Copernicus Climate Change Service case study showing how Vortex combines high-resolution wind modelling with C3S climate data to support wind-farm planning, development and risk assessment.
• WindyEditorial and science-communication work supporting ECMWF and the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service in explaining how weather and atmospheric data can be made accessible through Windy, a widely used visual weather platform.
