About Founder Jose:
“José entered the startup environment before his undergraduate years, working in, and shadowing, companies within Imperial College London’s incubator such HydroVenturi, deltaDOT, Gusto and Duvas Technologies.
During his undergraduate degree he helped build and test a proof of concept for a new form of micro-hydroelectricity.
He spent a year in between his undergraduate and PhD working for Duvas Technologies. His physics and language skills have sent him on projects to Brazil and Qatar.
Before joining Deep Science Ventures as a Venture Founder, he worked in its expansion via networking and equipment procurement.
He has now founded Synbiosys Ltd to develop next generation reinforced materials, and part-developed the new “Entrepreneurship in Physics” lecture course in the Department of Physics, Imperial College London, which will start in Q1 2018.
His main interest is on sustainable technologies, and cutting edge materials engineering. His expertise revolves around optics, experimental semiconductor physics and organic composite design. He also has experience in optimising two-phase flow (air in water), plastic film coating and fibre extrusion.
Technical specialties:
– Raytrace modelling for concentrating optics
– Solar cell characterisation (single and multi junction, quantum well)
– Photoelectrochemical multijunction structures and reactor optics
– Luminescent solar concentrator fabrication: planar and fibre geometries
– Lab managing (laser and wet)
– Spectroscopy (UV and visible)
– Organic material processing” Source.
About Founder Gian:
“Received my Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Pisa in 2014 and completed my PhD in materials science at Imperial College in 2017. During the last year of the PhD, he co-founded Synbiosys and joined it full time in October 2017.
As co-founder and director of Synbiosys, He wants to develop the next generation high-performance bio-composites which can be produced locally and from renewable sources, and will benefit consumers as well as the local communities and the environment.” Source
