Education and Global Perspective 

Philip’s passion for engineering began early, matched by his fascination with international collaboration and culture. He was among the first to join the Master of Engineering programme at the University of Sheffield, which included studies in Germany. 

He later completed part of his PhD in Japan and a Post-Doctorate at UC Berkeley in California, experiences that shaped his global approach to technology and innovation. 

Beyond Engineering 

A self-confessed gastronome, Philip takes every opportunity during research and business travel to explore local cuisine and culture. He enjoys recreating recipes from his travels for friends and colleagues. He is also an enthusiastic woodland advocate, having planted over 700 native British trees in his local area over the last five years to encourage biodiversity and support native wildlife. 

Mentorship and STEM Advocacy 

Philip remains closely involved with his former school, supporting STEM and engineering students by helping them secure internships and develop career pathways. 

Through EPT’s internship programme, he continues to mentor the next generation, encouraging students to engage directly with ongoing research and innovation projects.
