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 an MPhys in Physics at the University of Oxford, and later studied an 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.
