I spent 10 years studying Materials Science at the University of Oxford, initially as an undergraduate, before building novel sensor technology from graphene and other 2D materials as a graduate student. Quell brings together my technical background and interests in gaming and fitness (although we still haven't worked out how to work graphene into this project...).
