Kieron Moore
Role in team: Team Leader
Bio: I am Kieron the Team Hawk Team Leader. I am currently in my 5th year of a MEng Mechanical Engineering degree with a placement. I completed my placement year working as a Fluid Filtration Research Engineer for Parker Hannifin at their Racor division based in Dewsbury. My aspiration for theTeam Hawk project is to design and develop a system to safely and accurately deliver a payload that has minimal impact on performance. After university I aspire to go into renewable energy development or to work on eco-friendly and sustainability focused engineering projects. Fun facts about me are, I am big musical theatre fan, and I am avid hiker and hope to complete a major through hike by the end of the year.

Danyaal Hussain
Role in team: Salvage and Failsafe Lead
Bio: Hi, I'm Danyaal. Currently in my master’s year studying Mechanical Engineering. If it's anything to do with cars, we'll get on just fine. If not, don't worry, I'm still quite friendly even though I may not always look it! Did I choose engineering because I didn't want to be a doctor? No. It's because I'm fascinated with innovation and technology, and I need to make some money for a McLaren . Do what you enjoy, and you'll never spend a day working.

One fact about me is that I love to play games in my spare time. My favourite genre must be open world exploration. Another fact about me is, I did not do well in education until I got to university, I was average at best and sometimes worse than average, yet I am currently doing a master’s degree. This just proves that with enough dedication that anyone can change their life around, you just have to want to.
