My services
Low TRL Systems Engineering
I offer specialised expertise in integrating systems engineering principles into the development and deployment of low TRL (especially quantum) technologies. As the founder of this emerging discipline I can help you develop and select the methodologies, processes, training and practices to address low TRL challenges such as entanglement, system boundaries, and state verification. The consultancy provides tailored solutions for industry and academia, including designing "Design for X" strategies, optimizing reliability and scalability, and developing computational models for quantum systems. By bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical application, I seek to empower organisations to accelerate innovation, streamline development, and bring cutting-edge quantum technologies to market with confidence.
Complex offerings, from PNT to policy making, requiring multiple experts can be delivered in collaboration with Quantum Technologies Associates (QTA) if required.

Professional Training and Development
To meet your need I can design and deliver customised programs to enhance technical and strategic skills in low TRL sectors such as quantum technologies. I can support your needs from small-group leadership training to week-long residential immersive training. Programs focus on cutting-edge topics such as quantum systems engineering, computational modelling, and design for reliability, test, validation, standardisation etc., along with practical skills like clean coding, version control, and systems thinking for scientists and engineers. Whether through tailored workshops, industry-focused courses, or collaborative training programs I can enhance skills needed to face the challenges of emerging technologies.
National and International Standards Support
I am actively involved BSI ICT/4, IEC/ISO JTC 3 and IET working groups on quantum technologies in developing standards to support the growth and reliability of quantum technologies. Through participation in standards committees and collaborative projects I seek to ensure that emerging quantum technologies are underpinned by robust and internationally recognised standards.
