Improving the "Donning and Doffing" & Alignment Procedure for Osteoarthritic Knee Braces
EMBRACE Automatic Donning & Doffing Dock for Osteoarthritis Knee Braces
The Embrace (Electrical Mechanical Dock Brace Solution) is a robotic dock that allows users of medical knee braces to simply walk into the device to have it fit your knee brace to you without the need of countless straps or adjustment - everything is automatic. When it comes to the end of the day, the user can again walking into the product in order to have the dock take the brace off. The dock also allows clinicains to adjust and fit braces to pateints using precise measurments instead of basing adjustments on feel.
HORNET Rugged Childrens Scooter
The Hornet is a rugged and safe four wheeled push scooter for children. This particular project gained wide online attention and was detailed in various articles. After gaining a large online recognition the design has since been officially IP protected.
SENSAIR Smart Pollution Mask
The Sensair is a smart pollution mask for use in cities with heavy smog. The Sensair protects the user from harmful toxins and pollutants in the air as well as relaying useful information to the accompanying app. The accompanying app can also notify the user of incoming smog clouds or if friends or family members, also using Sensair masks, are in danger or at risk of inhaling too many toxins.
RENA A Cooperative Robotic Vacuum Cleaner
The Rena is a smart robotic vacuum cleaner that can empty itself in a purpose designed smart peddle bin without the need for a human. The Rena also comes with a handheld vacuum cleaner under it's lid so the device can "ask" for help from it's owner in order to reach those areas where the robot cannot reach.

Leyland Clowsley
I am impassioned about British Industry and Manufacturing, with an innovative mindset and ambitious ethos, I always eagerly anticipate the next challenge.
I have so far acquired a sound overall knowledge of leading-edge design principles, tools and practices with an emphasis on developing mechanical systems. This has largely stemmed from my internship at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and ABB Robotics. This reinforced my already technical aptitude and inventive mindset. Additionally, I strive to supplement my engineering proficiencies with directorial aptitude to achieve seniority throughout my career path. I have previously pushed into this area by undertaking CSR, M&A, Strategic Management and Corporate Finance courses at my time at NTNU, Norway on my Erasmus exchange. Upon graduating there will be a requisite to supplement my existing creative & technical skill set with managerial expertise however. Partaking in various extracurricular activities has allowed me to develop my social and communicational skill set. At Loughborough, I have been prominent members of the Sprinting and Horse Polo teams. My career target has long been to develop into a Production Supervisor or Manufacturing Manager type role as this will help me to engineer the expansion and growth of industry. This in turn would be applied to focus my own enterprises at a later date, as I have always wished to start my own manufacturing business.
