A physics graduate, Robin’s initial career, working on a wide range of materials research at Johnson Matthey Technology Centre, culminated as Principal Scientist. He then led product development at Bookham Technology, taking on product support and international business development responsibilities.

Since then, Robin has supported SMEs and university groups involved in developing clean transport, energy storage materials and distributed energy storage systems. Most recently, Robin has been piloting community energy projects as Director and co-founder of a social enterprise. He has maintained involvement in energy storage research, deployment and standardisation, including field trials.

With the Henry Royce Institute, Robin has led engagement in electrochemistry and energy storage. He has coordinated and co-authored a series of roadmaps and activities on the materials challenges for end-to-end hydrogen.
