Research Summary

Biography

Mr Ewers is pursuing a PhD in Machine Learning Driven Search and Rescue at the University of Glasgow. He graduated with a Masters of Engineering with Honours of the First Class in Aerospace Systems from the same university in 2021. Mr Ewers has practical industry experience, having interned at BAE Systems Air in 2019 and worked as a systems engineer at Gibson Robotics from 2020 to 2021. In 2021, he received the British Aerospace Engineering Systems Prize for the best industrially relevant final year project. Throughout his undergraduate degree at the University of Glasgow, he was placed on the Excellence List every year.
