Hi! I'm Bawar, a researcher at the University of Nottingham. I am passionate about technology, film-making and music. Occasionally, in an attempt to make sense of the world, I write my thoughts.
Welcome to my humble corner of the web.
Research and PhD
I currently work as a researcher at the Power Electronics, Machines and Control research group at the University of Nottingham. The goal of my PhD was to visualise electromagnetic fields using augmented reality and fast modelling techniques.
Because of its visual nature, my research makes the most sense demonstrated visually, so I've managed to record some videos of my work in action. My initial prototype was a thermal visualisation and the final version is an electromagnetic visualisation.
