Howard has joined AAPS CDT after graduating from Imperial College London where he studied Mechanical Engineering. Having grown up on a farm, Howard spent much of is early life tinkering with engines and machines giving him an affinity for solid mechanics. During this time Howard demonstrated a natural ability through his knowledge of ICEs and transmissions, and found a new affinity for electrical systems. This led to mechatronics as a desired field of study and under Dr. Costall (who joined IAAPS in 2020) in his final year, he undertook research into the viability of the electrification of agricultural machinery. Overcoming a lack of knowledge and guidance available to him in this area he produced a bottom-up analysis of tractors including 12 independently recorded duty cycles with results intended to be published imminently.

| Software Training - Bookdown | A course was given by the University of Bath's Research Software Skills team on the possibilities of using Bookdown for publishing work and information, particularly course notes. It was not only interesting to see the differences in writing in R as opposed to Latex but also the accessibility opportunities that Bookdown created. This was especially enticing given the switch to more online learning where screens and interaction methods are different for each user/student, and so are not controlled like the printed notes a lecturer would otherwise supply. |
