About
As a high functioning Asperger’s person, I am drawn to seek out patterns in the every day. It makes me predisposed to exploring innovation in systemic design.
Publications
My publications centre around patents and white papers in energy innovation.
Speaking
I have been graced with the opportunity to speak about my ideas in innovation at institutions and events including Oxford University, Chatham House, and Energy Disruptors Unite. Though being on stage is a rather uncomfortable place to be for me, I appreciate the opportunity to share ideas about solving global problems.
