Experience

Dan joined HGF in 2019 as a trainee patent attorney and has since qualified as a European Patent Attorney (July 2024) and a Chartered (UK) Patent Attorney (March 2026). He specialises in matters relating to due diligence, computer systems and software, telecommunications, electronics, and mobile device technologies.

Dan graduated from the University of Leicester in 2018 with a first-class Master’s degree in Physics. During his studies, he undertook research projects ranging from alternatives to dark matter to the medical applications of nanotechnology. His final-year project investigated the use of Gaussian processes to analyse noisy, seemingly random datasets, with a view to reconstructing signals and predicting future behaviour.

After graduating, Dan took a graduate position at an international oil and natural gas field services company, where he was a key member of the team responsible for signal processing and the design of resistivity tools, particularly those based on electromagnetic induction.
