Mike Sheppard (OMT)

Mechanical Engineering, Loughborough University

Principal Mechanical Design Engineer at MBDA Systems

Mike works in the Mechanical Future Concepts domain, focusing on aerospace defence systems that may be used in the future. He specialises in understanding how these systems will survive flying at extremely high speeds by conducting analysis, literature research, and conceptual design. The work is highly technical, involving advanced technologies and collaboration amongst different areas of expertise and Mike finds it very interesting.

Rilwan Adewoyin (OMT)

Mathematics, LSE and PhD in Computer Science, University of Warwick

Machine Learning Research Scientist at European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)

Rilwan’s role is Machine Learning Researcher/Engineer. He currently works on developing Neural Network approaches to improve upon (predominantly physics based) weather modelling. Prior to this, and while doing his PhD, Rilwan did contract roles as a Quantitative Research Associate at JPMorgan and a Machine Learning Researcher at The Alan Turing Institute.
