Bleddyn Mottershead
Whether building an ion thruster or optimising solar cell efficiency with natural dyes, Bleddyn is passionate about exploring how emerging technologies can tackle real-world problems.
His work co-authoring a paper on location modelling for nuclear refuges earned a grant from Non-Trivial and led to his role as a volunteer researcher at Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED), learning from and collaborating with experts to tackle global challenges.
Driven by these academic insights alongside an interest in practical engineering solutions, Bleddyn is keen to apply developments in robotics and automation to challenges like revolutionising food production security and sustainability.
Other interests include sports like rugby, photography, and involvement in initiatives like the City of London Hygiene Bank and a 700-mile team run to raise £25,000 for charity.
