I’m Cameron Williams, Mechanical Engineering student at Cardiff University.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate with a strong focus on applied computation in engineering analysis and design. My experience spans motorsport transmission research with Xtrac, optimisation-based modelling, and the development of physics-informed analytical tools in Python and MATLAB.

My work sits at the interface of physical modelling and data. From using data for accelerated test profiles, to inferring drivetrain parameters from noisy Formula One telemetry, I’ve consistently approached engineering problems as inverse or optimisation-based challenges. These projects have reinforced my interest in robust, adaptable computational methods that bridge the gap between imperfect data and incomplete physical models.

I’m particularly interested in the emerging space between classical engineering simulation and machine learning — especially physics-informed approaches that integrate governing equations with observational data. Long term, I aim to build a career at the intersection of engineering, computation, and software, developing tools that enhance confidence and efficiency in complex technical decision-making.
