Biography

My main interests are technology and additive manufacturing. My goal is to incorporate them into sustainable products. During my studies, I have created some interesting sustainability and transport concepts that incorporate additive manufacturing and high-end technology into a single package.

Firstly my ‘Green Reset’ system captures carbon and changes its structure to store it underground. The system is providing many benefits such as cleaner air in urban areas; electricity, heat, and syngas as byproducts; food, and a highly potent organic fertilizer. This system can solve environmental issues in less than a decade if it is scaled properly. The system works in a closed-loop while encouraging landfill cleanup.

My final project was an electric cargo bike. The bike’s main feature is the extendable wheelbase that creates a cargo space area. The bike is a blend of 3D printed components and welded piping. It provides an extended range of over 70 miles that will suit commuters and delivery drivers. The automatic gearbox enables the rider to cycle uphill and on a flat surface with the same effort. It can also be an all-around bike for personal use since it has a full-suspension setup.

The silver components are 3d printed and the painted ones are tubular extrusions

Before loading the cargo, the slider has to be manually pushed towards the back of the bike

The variable wheelbase is also accompanied by variable suspension geometry which can change the angle of the bike by 1.5° and reduce the rear suspension travel by 20 mm to retain the same level of comfort when the wheelbase is in the short position

Shred Hauler cargo loading - Loading movement

Shred Hauler cargo loading - To load the cargo, the user would need to lean down and place the cargo on the rear swing arm

Shred Hauler cargo loading - The user will need to pull the leather straps through the clips to secure the cargo in position

Shred Hauler wheelbase extension - The wheelbase can be extended by 255 mm which will offer different levels of comfort

The Green Reset - A new approach to emissions reduction by using moss incorporated into public infrastructure.

The Green Reset - The system is comprised of a seating installation, measuring station, and street lighting units. All designs use the Voronoi design pattern to maximise the moss surface.

The Green Reset - The street lighting has a built-in air quality light indication.

The Green Reset - The measuring station network monitors the air quality and provides live data on the measuring station screen, information panels around the area, the website, and the mobile app. The mobile app sends notifications for pollution breaches to warn the public when they occur.

The Green Reset - Winner of New Designers 2021 Creative Conscience Environmental Design Award - an urban air filtration system that utilises public infrastructure and moss to improve air quality within towns & cities.
