Email Address: suraj.sharma@brunel.ac.uk
I am a passionate automotive engineer with a strong foundation in both practical and academic experiences. I completed my B.Tech in Automotive Engineering from VIT University, India, where I developed hands-on skills as a part of Team Kshatriya, working on the production of an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) for the mBAJA racing competition. Building on this foundation, I pursued an MSc in Automotive Engineering at Cranfield University, where I further honed my expertise through various minor projects.
Currently, I am a doctoral researcher at Brunel University, pursuing a PhD in Nanobubble Fuel Technology, where I explore innovative solutions to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in the transportation sector. Alongside my research, I serve as a teaching assistant at Brunel, tutoring in both the Mechanical and Mathematics departments, which has allowed me to further develop my communication skills and deepen my understanding of core engineering principles.
My postgraduate work has provided me with experience across diverse areas, including transmission systems, vehicle dynamics design, and carbon fiber component manufacturing. With a strong focus on low- and zero-carbon emission transport solutions, I am committed to contributing to the development of sustainable mobility and addressing global engineering challenges.
