Bio
I love seeing a problem for the first time then think for hours on how to solve it, fail then try again and again and again and so on until I solve it then tear up my notebook and start again with a new problem! Before founding Treetrench, I was a PhD researcher at The University of Warwick, working alongside researchers from the STET group on developing adsorption heating and cooling systems, helping UK homes and businesses go carbon neutral with their heating and cooling needs. It was fun but I started to feel there is something out there bigger that deserved my attention. If you guessed climate change, energy and waste crisis you are right. While reading a research paper on synthesising fuels from carbon dioxide, I found myself asking if we had free unlimited carbon neutral energy how would the world be different? Obviously anything that was once seen as resource intensive will now become easy and doable, adopting a circular economy easy, not digging the ground for oil easy, developing sustainable materials easy, not
having to pay an electricity or a water bill, super feasible! It would be the same kind of change solar panels brought to the world, but at a much, much bigger scale. This vision led me to leave my PhD (I ended up getting a masters degree for all the work I did during my PhD nothing wasted.) and found Treetrench! I know it's not a one person job but we are on the right road.
