My research uses high-resolution maps and video-game simulation software to model future flooding in Abu Dhabi under projected sea-level rise. The immersive tool helps identify risks, guide infrastructure adaptation, protect sensitive areas, and support long-term planning. By visualizing future scenarios, the project empowers communities and policymakers to take proactive climate action.

This research redesigns long wind-turbine blades for low-wind-speed sites by shifting structural strength from the internal spar to the aerodynamic shell. The new “eggshell-like” design reduces bending under the blade’s own weight, requires less material, and lowers costs—helping make wind power cheaper than fossil fuels without relying on political action.

This research uses ultra-fast femtosecond lasers to study how photovoltaic materials generate and lose electrons. By tracking where electrons form and where they become trapped, the work aims to improve solar panel efficiency. Better photovoltaic materials could make solar energy cheaper, more reliable, and capable of replacing fossil fuels.

This research develops flexible, bird-inspired aircraft wings that can smoothly change shape during flight. By combining stiff carbon-fibre structures with elastic outer skins, these wings reduce drag, fuel consumption, and noise. With aviation’s emissions projected to rise sharply, such morphing-wing technology could make future flights cleaner, quieter, and potentially cheaper.
