Paul Huggett
Knowledge Transfer Manager - Industrial Technologies
I provide support for the technical communities in the power electronics, machines and drives (PEMD) sector, working across the supply chain from semiconductor materials companies to system integrators.
I work with people and organisations who are interested in the field of PEMD from all the sectors, with interests in electrification for a Net Zero economy. I can help fast track innovative projects in a range of sectors including power electronics, drives, machines, semiconductors, electrification, rail, marine, aerospace, automotive, agritech and energy.
I also assist innovators and large industrial partners to navigate the path to successful exploitation within a Net Zero economy, across all sectors.
I am the lead on the ISCF Wave 3 Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) programme and work closely with the Innovate UK DER business team. The challenge represents an investment of up to £80 million over 4 years, set up to help UK businesses seize the opportunities presented by the transition to a low carbon economy.
Prior to joining Innovate UK KTN, I worked in semiconductor and photonic companies in the UK, Europe and the USA. I have a BSc and PhD in Chemistry.
