The Team
Students from across the School of Engineering (mechanical, civil, electronic and more) building something none of us could build alone.
Leadership
Founded Warwick Tunnelling to put a Warwick machine in Texas ground. Leads project direction, competition strategy and partnerships.
Owns the technical integrity of the machine, from concept selection through to the final design package.
Keeps the team running: logistics, planning and the operational discipline behind everything we do.
Subsystem Teams
Leads the design of the cutting face, the part of the machine that meets the clay first.
Characterising the competition ground and co-authoring the research that anchors the machine's design.
Power, motor control and instrumentation, built to the industrial standards the competition site demands.
Makes sure five subsystems become one machine: interfaces, requirements and the discipline between them.
Site logistics and dig-day operations, turning an engineering project into a competition performance.
The team's visual identity, from the cutterhead mark to everything you're looking at right now.
Academic Support
Warwick Tunnelling is supervised by Nikolaos Reppas of the University of Warwick School of Engineering, with laboratory access and academic collaboration supporting our geotechnical research programme.
School of Engineering, University of Warwick. Supervises the team's geotechnical research and academic output.
We recruit from every discipline: engineering, computing, business, design. If you want to build something that ends up a metre underground in Texas, we want to hear from you.
