Science
School of Aviation

I'm an engineer, scientist, and entrepreneur known internationally for my work on aerodynamics for automotive and aviation applications, particularly for electric vehicles and aircraft. My projects have been featured in the New York Times, Popular Science, ABC News, USA Today, BBC World News and TechCrunch.

I founded a venture-backed technology startup, Seaflight Technologies Inc. in Los Angeles in 2022, steering the company through the high-profile Y Combinator accelerator. Seaflight develops long-range large electric cargo drones, working with the US Air Force, the US National Science Foundation, and the Australian Government to advance novel aerodynamic technologies to help accelerate an equitable and electric future for flight. Seaflight was a spin-out of the R&D company I founded in LA, Rebel Research, which also attracted funding from the US National Science Foundation and helped electric vehicle companies refine their real-world range.

I worked at EV startup Canoo in California before that, leading the aerodynamics team and championing the range attribute across a novel range of commercial and consumer electric vehicles. Prior to this I spent 4 years as a Lockheed Martin-endowed Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering at California Polytechnic State University. Here, I served as Director of the Low Speed Wind Tunnel Lab and worked on applied aerodynamic research projects with NASA, Tesla, Joby Aviation, Honda, FLIR and others.

As a Lecturer at UNSW in my early career before I moved to the US, I garnered global media attention for novel work involving the potential of supersonic shock waves to extinguish bushfires with explosives, and worked on projects in collaboration with the Australian Defence Force Academy and the US Navy.

An award-winning educator and researcher in the university setting, I have applied the philosophy of hands-on "Learn By Doing" to all my teaching and work with undergraduate researchers, and I bring this approach to UNSW's School of Aviation as the lead academic developing a unique new Bachelor program in Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).
