About me
Mr David Willmore is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of South Australia and additionally is a casual lecturer, tutor and practical supervisor for various mechanical engineering courses. David is a recipient of the University of South Australia Division ITEE High Achiever School Leaver Scholarship (2019), the PW Stephens Engineering Prize (2019), the Research Training Program (RTP) Domestic Stipend (2023), the Seeley International/Playford Trust Scholarship (2023) and the Gould Experimental Science Research Grant (2024).
David's current research surrounds the storage of hydrogen and the potential risk of autoignition and detonation that may ensue given the failure of a pressurised storage vessel. David's research involves numerical simulations on high-performance computing systems and experimental techniques, including focussing Schlieren imaging.
In 2022, David graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) and achieved First Class Honours.
