WORK HISTORY
CTO @Lineat Composites
Bristol, GB
Lineat Composites brings a disruptive fibre composite material technology to the high-tech manufacturing industry, solving key problems related to cost, productivity and sustainability. Current fibre material formats are expensive, hard to form into shape and highly wasteful to use with poor recycling routes. Lineat aligns chopped fibres, creating a novel aligned fibre tape product that can compete with continuous fibre performance, is easy to form and allows low-cost and easy use and re-use of carbon fibre.
