NanobOx is bringing to market highly energy efficient equipment for treatment of water using nanobubbles. Our ground-breaking technology employs a novel, patented method of generating nanobubble in situ using an electric field that reduces, by an order of magnitude, the energy cost of adding oxygen to water. Our nanobubble aeration solutions uniquely produce oxygen enriched nanobubbles from ambient air enabling the beneficial effect of oxygen nanobubbles on plant growth and animal health to be obtained without the need for an oxygen supply. It also provides a chemical-free solution for cleaning and sanitising water, water handling equipment and fresh produce using air or ozone.

Providing consulting and support services to B2B technology start-up and early-stage businesses in all aspects of business development and management. I help founders and management teams to raise equity finance, qualify and quantify target markets, identify and engage with prospective customers, develop and execute go-to-market strategy, find strategic marketing partners and establish international sales channels, and build cross-disciplinary business teams and processes.

Advising on growth strategy and providing operational support to emerging B2B technology businesses marketing to the primary, discrete and manufacturing industries. We partner with senior management of start-up, early-stage, and lower mid-market technology companies, to develop and execute short- and long-term business growth strategies addressing funding and corporate strategy, business development and business process challenges.

Holding company for a portfolio of mushroom fermentation and enzyme process IP developed for production of myco-enzymatically modified food ingredients, processing of biomass into biofuel and soil-remediation.

Managing global business operations for CPFD, a provider of specialist CFD software for design and process optimization of industrial particle fluidization systems.

Member of the Board of Directors supporting the company in providing the highest quality DEM software and services to its customers.DEM Solutions was the leading provider of software and services for simulation and analysis of the operation of bulk particle handling and processing equipment. DEM Solutions were headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland with offices in the USA and Japan. Its EDEM simulation technology is used by leading companies in industries, including mining, minerals processing, process industries (minerals, steel, pharmaceuticals, food, biotech), steel manufacturing, discrete manufacturing (mining, agricultural and construction machinery), energy, geotechnical engineering, as well as industrial R&D and academic research relating to particle science and technology.DEM Solutions was acquired by Altair Engineering Inc in 2019.

Founded DEM Solutions to develop and market the first Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation software, EDEM, for use in engineering design and analysis of bulk particle handling and processing equipment that has the ease-of-use, extensibility and multi-physics simulation capability equal to more established CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) software.First released in 2006, EDEM, is now deployed in R&D and production engineering design and analysis by leading companies worldwide involved in designing or using equipment handling or processing bulk materials such as mined ores and coal, rock aggregates, soil & ice, granules, food grains, pellets, powder, and fibers. EDEM can be coupled with structural mechanics simulation software to simulate particle-structure interactions, and with fluid flow simulation software to simulate particle-fluid systems.

Acting as business mentor for Direct Engineering, LLC as part of an NSF iCorps team developing a go-to-market strategy for advanced thin-film simulation technology to predict performance of physical vapour deposition equipment for use in engineering design and optimisation.

Providing consulting services to founders, investors and executive management in start-up and early-stage technology businesses advising on fund-raising, go-to-market strategy, product management strategy, product and corporate marketing, and building international sales channels.

Senior research lead for computational modelling component of an EPSRC-funded research program on optimisation of shot-peening methodologies.

Academic research and teaching in the area of engineering and computational modeling of bulk food materials handling and processing. Founded and managed a graduate-level Biosystems Engineering Research program engaged in experimental measurement and computational modelling of Drying and Cooling of Malting Barley, Fermentation and Drying of Cocoa Beans, Dynamics of Hydration and Starch Modification of Barley Grain, Mechanical Extraction of Oil from Oil-seeds, Detection of Weed Plants using Machine Vision, and the development and application of DEM (Discrete Element Method) simulation of the handling and processing of agricultural and food products.
