About George

I am currently the Senior Robotics Technician for EEER. I oversee lab 303b and assist students in a variety of robotics and electronics modules. I particularly enjoy assisting students with their projects be it final year or personal. 
As part of my role I manage EEER 3D print lab allowing students to experience rapid prototyping and for us a team to manufacture parts for our lab and modules. Within the team I am responsible for module development and kit development for the Robotics modules along side James Rogers.
I also am currently setting up an start-up competition for Engineering, Computer science and biomedical students that is hoping to run next academic year 2024-2025.
Separate to my role I run a speed climbing business where I run speed climbing events with a speed climbing timing system I developed myself.
In my spare time I like to make short films and practice with my band Sourdough.

Teaching

ROCO224 - Introduction to robotics 
ROCO226 - Sensors and Actuators for Robotic Systems
ROCO051/ELEC051 - Electronics & Robotics 
PROJ100 - Embedded System Design and Build 
PROJ515 - Meng Project
ROCO318 - Mobile and Humanoid Robots 
I'm also interested in teaching the electronics and theory behind electric instruments such as guitars and effect pedals as I feel there is a great crossover there which would serve as a great teaching tool to students.
