As Solaris Consulting’s Director, I lead my team to deliver top class technical consultancies, organise global technology study missions and connect investors with promising technologies. I also carry out technology due diligence for investors.

I have been appointed as a Strategic Planning Manager in the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP). My role is to help create a vibrant innovation and technology ecosystem to deliver social and economic benefits to Hong Kong. I have strong expertise in Microelectronics, Semiconductor and Smart City technologies. Currently I am leading the planning phase of a major technology initiative. I lead teams of consultants to analyse various technology landscapes, identify the opportunities, articulate the financial requirements and conduct the implementations. About HKSTP: HKSTP has just started a HK$10 billion (approx. USD1.3Bn) programme to enhance the local innovation and technology ecosystem over the next 5 years. We have a strong commitment in promoting next generation enabling technology platforms such as AI, Robotics and Bio-medicine.

I was elected as a Junior Research Fellow in Kellogg College, University of Oxford in June 2015.

In February 2015, I have been appointed as the Technology Associate for University of Oxford in the National Quantum Computing Hub. (http://nqit.ox.ac.uk/) The flagship goal of Oxford’s £38 million programme is to build a fully-functional small quantum computer. My role is in user engagement activities. Tim Cook (Hub Co-Director) and I oversee the ~£3.5 million industrial innovation programme. My role is to provide the Hub a deep understanding of the current technology landscape and a vision for emerging technologies. This enables an efficient use of the £3.5M to commercialise our technologies to address business demands in digital, health, finance and military applications. A key part of my job is to speak to enterprises, understand their work flow and examine their potential problems. Using entrepreneurial thinking, I negotiate and secure resources to create business solutions using our Hub’s technologies. As a result, I have experience in IP generation, knowledge transfer, executing proof of concepts for new technologies, proposals/bid preparation, contract negotiation and technology investment.I am the contact point for over 120 companies, venture capitalists and researchers. This requires excellent skills in relationship management. In addition, I am an active research leader. Currently, I am leading a £500,000 project as a Co-Investigator in Quantum Wireless Networks. This project investigates the feasibility of short range encryption using quantum mobile systems.

I work with university research groups and industrial partners to realise the potential of optical technologies developed in the University of Oxford.

I am a research scientist specialising in telecommunication networks, quantum information and semiconductor lasers. My PhD project has demonstrated the world’s first secure quantum data link applied to a Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network. This work has been featured in physics.org and the BBC news (Link). Currently, I am leading a project on the world's first high speed communication network secured by quantum encryption technology in Toshiba Research Europe Ltd in Cambridge, UK. (BBC news link)

Oclaro designs, manufacturers and sells optical components primarily for fiber-optic communication networks. It has the largest commercial semiconductor foundry in the UK. I was an R&D Engineer working on athermal lasers for broadband application.
