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 to help UK homeowners and businesses reduce their bills and carbon footprint. It was fun but I started to feel there was something bigger out there 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... only 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 it, nothing wasted) and to found Treetrench! I know it's not a one person job but we're on track!
