Personal Statement
Ruaridh is an engineer studying systems, networks and patterns. His work often exists at the boundary between disciplines, and has led to publications on Alzheimer’s disease, bird flocks, disease spread, satellite Earth observation, robotic and satellite systems. This diverse portfolio informs his role as an interdisciplinary research lead in the Future Hospital Initiative, connecting across faculties to build collaborative research proposals and enhance the research environment. His current work includes developing design tools for the next generation of satellite constellations with AAC Clyde Space, mapping tidal channels on a European Space Agency (ESA) funded project, monitoring child neurodevelopment through tablet gameplay – with a focus on Autism, and redesigning patient pathways in the NHS.
Ruaridh has a background in the development of space technology and research into its applications. This includes delivering a three-year horizon scanning activity for the UK Space Agency, which assessed the potential of future space technology, and leading the development of a sounding rocket experiment for four years as part of ESA's REXUS programme.
