Who I Am

⚡ Research Focus

I work on grounding systems and the soil enhancement materials used to improve them. My research characterised three commercial materials, GEM, MEG and SanEarth, under both low voltage AC and high voltage impulse conditions up to 300 kV. I tested grid electrodes across more than 13 configurations at controlled moisture levels of 0 to 10%, analysed E50, impulse impedance and ionisation thresholds, and modelled earthing performance in SES CDEGS to IEEE Std 80 and IEC 62305.

Before my research, I designed lightning protection systems to MS IEC 60364 in industry. Today I bring that mix of lab rigour, field measurement and design experience to utility, substation and infrastructure projects.
