Technical Co-founder of Radfan, a product that helps make people warmer at home.

PhD in electronics (Energy Harvesting) have used the mbed for a number of projects including a 29 sensor room temperature mapping system to show where heat collects in a room in real time.

I enjoy running, mountain biking and rock climbing although I don't get to do them as much as I would like.

Write for EE Times and at http://www.startupthehardway.com on the topics of entrepreneurship, startups and electronics.
