Aaron Hayden-Cooper

I’ve always had a fascination with technology and a love for creation; this led me down the long road of engineering, ending in a BEng Mechanical Engineering degree at Brunel. During the course, I began to realise that technology was moving faster than ever before and that my education should not end here. Now 2 years after graduation I’m back at university earning a master’s degree on the Industrial Digitisation course and beginning to understand how Industry 4.0 is emerging.

Personally, I’m fascinated by the applications of VR, CAD and 3D printing and hope to use it to bring science fiction and fantasy into reality… or virtual reality. Current personal projects in the works include prototyping costume props and creating a virtual Gallery for displaying 3D models I have created. Please find my ongoing blog in the links below.
