Biography
I completed my master’s degree in civil engineering (Stellenbosch University) specialising in pavement (road) engineering. A strong passion for approaching projects in an innovative manner motivated postgraduate research about the use of Spray Jet Technology and its influence on Pavement Life using various means of analyses such as Mechanistic Methods and Finite Element Modelling. The research was conducted in collaboration with the University of Pisa (Italy) from which a paper was published, presented, and awarded “Best Paper by a Young Professional” during the 12th Conference on Asphalt Pavements for southern Africa in 2019.
The complexity and diversity of the postgraduate work and other projects have provided the platform to be challenged by deriving solutions in more innovative ways. Thus, there is the continuous drive to be challenged with latest technology/ methods such as machine learning.
Through various teaching and student experiences, I have been able to use my love for teaching to eagerly share knowledge to help enrich the scientist or engineers of tomorrow. A career in engineering academics has allowed my passion for solving problems, working with students and contributing to society to improve everyday life.
