About
I’m currently the MTC Chair in Sustainable Manufacturing and lead the Sustainable Manufacturing Group. In a nutshell there is no second planet so we need to rethink how we make products and how we sell them. The MTC or, in full, The Manufacturing Technology Centre is a 700 strong organisation focusing on translational research. Sustainable manufacturing covers a plethora of activities including, materials extraction, processing, life cycle assessment, digitalisation, additive manufacturing, automation, robotics, and clean energy.Details
