      My current project is based around the energy efficient land based cultivation of the edible seaweed called dulse as a sustainable source of protein. It’s been testing different growing conditions and trying to get spores to release and settle on different materials. It has been interesting and generally cold as it prefers cold conditions.

      Awesome! The tech that we’re building right now is literally going to change the materials analysis landscape and market (unfortunately it’s still hush hush, so I can’t say much more).

      Before that, I was working on sample holders to cool materials down to liquid nitrogen temperatures (-196C) – which is cold enough that it would cause you hand to almost instantly freeze and shatter 😬

      At the moment some colleagues and myself are putting together a project to look at how molecules move around on surfaces from very short distance and timescales to long distance and timescales.

      My latest project was writing a code that makes sure money moves safely and quickly.
