Hi, I'm James. I explore the world looking for interesting engineering stories which explore complex issues in interesting ways. I hold a First-Class Honors in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Western Australia and am currently studying a Masters of Space Systems Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

My website is https://www.atomicfrontieronline.com, I occasionally tweet from   / atomicfrontiers  , and you can join the Atomic Frontier Discord server to talk about cool engineering stuff at   / discord  . You can help support my work and see some cool behind-the-scenes content at   / atomicfrontier  .
