I assist with the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications in the UK, Europe and worldwide. I work on a range of technologies including semiconductors, medical devices, scientific instruments, software and heavy machinery. In addition, I regularly assist with intellectual property due diligence exercises for investment rounds in start-up companies.
I completed a MPhys in Physics at the University of Oxford, and later studied a MRes in Neurotechnology at Imperial College London, which included training in machine learning. My PhD in materials science at Imperial College London focused on developing a nanotechnology platform for treating brain tumours.
I have experience of university technology transfer from my research career, having patented a virus labelling technique, later developed into a spinout company for pathogen testing.
