David has over 10 years’ experience of technology development and commercialisation of Flash Sintering (FS) technology. David holds an MSc in physics and a PhD in nanophysics, both from the University of Birmingham, and a diploma in Applied Business Management from Warwick Business School.

David worked on structural analysis of nanomaterials during his PhD at the University of Birmingham, where he used aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy to characterise the structure of nanoparticles for catalytic application within the automotive industry. Through technological discoveries within FS David has sought to target specific sector applications, striving for technology adoption within manufacturing in the shortest timescales possible.

David has experience in managing public-funded projects, both through InnovateUK, Strength in Places, and the Regional Growth Fund, and in overseeing academic collaborations and working directly with commercial clients and consortiums, working alongside many different clients within a diverse range of industries that manufacture and use both advanced and traditional ceramics.
