An Australian engineer, Michael moved to the UK in 2012 to undertake research into composite artificial muscle technology at the University of Bristol. This work led to the invention of the technology that set Actuation Lab into motion.

Michael’s thoughts – “With the advances in design methods, materials, and manufacturing over the last decade, it’s become possible to develop new hardware faster and cheaper than was previously imaginable. There are countless status quo technologies running our industries that remain unrevised despite these tools and I’m excited that we are changing that.”
