Background

About Harry Moore

Graduated with a master’s degree in Automotive Engineering at Loughborough University, UK. From a young age I have always been fascinated in modern technology and automated systems, in particular thinking up gadgets to solve problems. In 2016 during a weeklong course in automotive design at Jaguar Land Rover, the foundations were laid for a curiosity in Automotive Engineering. During my degree I have covered a strong basis of engineering principles in a wide range of disciplines including thermodynamics, aerodynamics, finite element analysis, electrotechnology, risk analysis and vehicle design. In my final year this has included producing, tuning and evaluating an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm in MATLAB for landmark-based localisation of an autonomous vehicle. My demonstration of understanding the code and its effectiveness was awarded a mark of 81%, something I am proud of given the time I put into it and the importance of coding for future technology. The degree has also given me the choice to learn topics more related to the future of transport. This includes choosing to replace modules such as combustion engines with electric motors, autonomous vehicles and composite materials. These have better prepared me for the transition of gasoline vehicles to electric cars and developed transferable skills in the form of coding and simulation.
