My research is focused on the broad study, development, and application of biological materials in science and technology.

I have been awarded the world’s most outstanding young researcher in Materials Science by the Bayer Foundation. I have also been awarded best PhD thesis at the University of Barcelona for studies in the use of biopolymers in Microelectronics and Biomedicine. My post-doctoral work at MIT on the development of the “Micro-Masonry” has been highlighted as “breakthrough in tissue engineering” (CNET).

As investigator at the Wyss Institute, my work is centered on elucidating the design principles of structural biosystems and applying those principles to create new classes of materials with exceptional properties. One of most recent results of this work is the design and fabrication of “Shrilk”, a compostable and biocompatible material inspired by the insect cuticle. Shrilk is referred, for example, to as “one of the materials that will change the future of manufacturing” (Scientific American), or simply a “Supermaterial” (National Geographic).

My work and ideas have been extensively covered by the media. Of special interest to understand this vision, is the documentary by BBC within the series “Genius of Nature”, or the article by Harvard Gazette “As strong as an insect’s shell”. My opinion on environmental policies and sustainable development can be found, for example, at the personal interview for the science programme of BBC Radio “Costing the earth”.

Dr Mark Beard is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer with a PhD in Material Science. His interest in Additive Manufacturing first started 15 years ago in academia where he ran a materials research group in the University of Exeter. The group started to investigate the material properties of AM parts and as the interest in the technology grew, he helped start up the Centre for Additive Layer Manufacturing. Seeing the full potential of the technology, he then moved to industry to become the Technical Director of one of the worlds biggest AM Service Bureaus providing both metal and plastic parts to the industry. The Bureau was one of the first to obtain both Medical and Aerospace quality accreditations and to be able to supply serial manufactured parts into these industries, in addition to many other market sectors looking use AM for their applications.

Mark currently works as the Global Director for Process and Application Development at Additive Industries. Additive Industries are a manufacturer of Metal AM equipment that has been specifically designed for industrial applications providing automation of tasks in the complete manufacturing chain. In his role, he runs the UK Process and Application Development Competence Centre as well as coordinating activities in the Additive Industries global network of P&AD Centres.

Over 15 years of diverse business, management and technical experience in the technology space. Successful track record in international, fast growing business environments.

Industry 4.0 expert. Successfully designed and delivered smart manufacturing/ big data/ AI solutions in various legacy industries. Change agent and business problem solver.

Executive leadership with international companies. Communicates vision, mission and strategy, defines focused goals, and manages planning and execution. Full scope of P&L, finance, sales, HR, operations and IR.

As a researcher and analyst I believe sharing ideas and in depth discussion is a vital step in revealing macro trends, or getting to the big picture.

My interests have always been diverse and range from engineering technology to international financial markets and sustainable agriculture. My early career as a Chartered Accountant gave me the opportunity to act as primarily point of contact during audit fieldwork. Interaction with everyone from seasoned CEO’s to apprentices taught me the value of combining technical accounting knowledge with softer skills to fully understand an enterprise.

Since then I’ve worked with businesses ranging from multinational investment banks to patent attorneys with fewer than 10 partners. I have experience in industries such as film financing and production, emerging forms of agriculture and energy generation, semiconductor solutions for decentralized networks, cryptocurrencies, and innovative mobile applications from China to Canada and the Middle East to Europe or the U.S.

I divide my time between consultancy work and writing books and magazine articles. At the moment I’m working on my 3rd book about 3D printing, also I’m a regular writer for 3DP publications and am often invited to speak at conferences on a range of topics. Recently I’ve given presentations on nano-materials and graphene in China, spoken about 3D printing and food at SXSW and will be delivering a presentation on the remarkable field of material topology and rare earth metals later in the year.

I’m always keen to discuss areas such as 3D printing, automation, Industry 4.0, or the digital economy and how macro or micro trends shape society or the economy.
