Economics paperResearchGate preprint
An empirical public-data paper matching 397 CPS occupations from 2020-2025 to observed AI-use exposure, then testing whether 20-24-year-old workers lose ground relative to 35-44-year-old workers in the same occupations.

Robotics paperResearchGate preprint
A concise robotics paper presenting sensorless bilateral force feedback on commodity Dynamixel servos, custom 2x-scaled follower arms with torque-tiered motors, and the gravity-contact ambiguity that remains without a dynamics model.
Long-form writing where the mechanism matters more than the abstract.

EssayAI and the blocked ladder
A theory essay with a possible policy extension: AI may absorb the codified junior work that made beginners worth hiring, narrowing the career ladder before headline unemployment moves.
Large supporting artifacts that sit between research, engineering, and documentation.

DissertationBSc Dissertation, University of Edinburgh
The long-form dissertation behind the teleoperation paper: full system design, custom 2x-scaled follower arms, ROS 2 control, sensorless force feedback, user study, failure analysis, and implementation detail.
