Helping founders and management teams build effective businesses.

Impulsonics is using the unique power of acoustics to make cell culture automation easy and accessible.

Honorary Professor in the Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy.

At Actuation Lab we are modern day inventors utilising advanced materials and techniques. Using the latest design methods, materials, and rapid manufacturing, we are rethinking the mechanical hardware that keeps process industries moving. Whether it is flow control solutions or zero-wear mechanisms, the technology we develop is designed for longevity and to reduce the impact on our planet, whilst increasing efficiency and lowering cost.

LumOptica is a UK-based R&D consultancy, bringing decades of experience in the optics, laser and infrared domains.

We offer innovative and state-of-the-art technology for the control of vibrations in structures. Our Active Mass Dampers dramatically reduce problems caused by floors vibrating as people walk around, enabling engineers to design modern, efficient and sustainable buildings.

KETS Quantum Security offers secure communications using on-chip quantum technologies – from quantum random number generators to full quantum key distribution devices.

At Folium Optics we used state-of-the-art techniques to produce paper-thin, robust plastic displays, enabling innovative new solutions to a growing range of challenging customer problems. Our developments included an ‘Internet of Things’ system for medicine adherence, called My Health Tags, and colour-changing adaptive camouflage for military personnel or vehicles.

Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Environment and Technology

Honorary Visiting Professor in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the University of Exeter.

My research background is in the physics of optical devices. I was a technical lead at HP Labs, Bristol, and I worked on next generation display technologies where I combined work on high efficiency optics with nanotechnology and the development of novel materials and new manufacturing techniques.Our group developed a novel architecture for colour reflective displays and demonstrated a plastic prototype display. Previously we developed bistable technologies which enable high resolution images that persist when the power is removed. These are key steps towards our goal of realising paper-like displays.

Research in quantum optics, photonic band gaps, microstructures and surface plasmons.
