As a scientist, engineer and technologist I am passionate about advancing the boundaries of current technologies and pushing them beyond the horizon. With a background in physics, engineering, materials science and chemistry I've enjoyed many years innovating, researching, developing and actualizing ideas, fusing the wondrous fundamentals of science with the practical creativity of engineering to achieve quality, exploitable technology in my various areas of focus.

Combining my expertise in these various fields and with the backing of some very supportive, like-minded adventurers, in October 2017 I launched Paragraf. The company focuses on finally delivering the long speculated technologies from the extraordinary, sometimes called 'super' material graphene. Using innovative approaches to material hetero-structure production and subsequent device fabrication we are unlocking the potential of graphene, realising exciting, next generation technologies with step changes in performance over the current state of the art.

At Paragraf we're driving to change the world using the wonders of science to deliver novel materials and technologies that will have real beneficial impact on the world, for everyone.
