The team consists of undergraduates (Business, Engineering and Science), PhD and MSc students, namely Ioannis Michail Andreadakis (UG Business), Neil Harrison (PhD engineering), Richard Swan (PhD Science), Andrew Kerr (UG Science) and Patrick Zhang (Msc Business).
The team was mentored by Enterprise Partner Dr Donald Lawrie, director of Lawrie IP, and the team is looking to progress their idea with support from Strathclyde Entrepreneurial Network (SEN).
