In early 2021, he joined the Oxford Robotics Institute with the Embodied Intelligence Program to develop soft-sensing skin for robots working with humans. He was awarded an Oxford University Enterprise and Innovation Fellowship and an Ideas2Impact Fellowship from the Saïd Business School in 2022, and has worked extensively on the development of a novel protective helmet design with significant potential to reduce head injuries in sport.
