I am a Chartered Patent Attorney and a European Patent Attorney with a background in engineering.
I joined Boult shortly after I completed my degree, which exposed me to a wide range of engineering disciplines. However, my specialisms are AI/ML, robotics, control systems, signal processing, image processing, telecoms, medical devices and optoelectronics.
During my time at university, I undertook a research project focussed on modelling fluorescent concentrator receivers for MIMO VLC applications, a research project focussed on designing a control and sensor system for venous leg ulcer monitoring and a research project involving simulating a rocket landing.
I also completed several summer internships in the automotive industry, working on hybridisation, steering systems, wheels and tyres, custom vehicles and project management and I completed a shadowing period with an in-house patent department.
My role here at Boult allows me to apply my scientific and technical skills, in a commercial context, across a huge variety of projects for my clients. I really enjoy understanding what it is that my clients, big or small, are looking to achieve and then helping them to do just that.
Amongst other things, I prepare, file and prosecute patent applications in the UK, Europe and other jurisdictions around the world. I have a particular interest in assisting my clients to obtain patents in technology areas that are at the edge of patentable/excluded subject-matter, such as machine learning algorithms, presentations of information and business methods.
