Biography
Max is a PhD Candidate at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, University of Oxford sponsored by Rolls-Royce and EPSRC. His research employs analytical, numerical, and experimental methods to investigate improvements to high-pressure turbine aerothermal performance. Prior to this, he completed a Master's degree in Future Propulsion and Power at the Whittle Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Ottawa in Canada.
His previous experience includes research at the National Research Council Canada's Aerospace Research Centre, and several engineering internships, including at Tesla, the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Coast Guard, and Pratt & Whitney.
