Experience

Mat joined HGF in October 2017 to train as a Patent Attorney and is now a qualified UK and European Patent Attorney. He has a First Class Masters Degree in Chemistry from the University of Sheffield, as well as a PhD in Surface Chemistry from the same institution.

Mat’s doctoral research focussed on the development of self-assembled monolayers and their potential to create molecular-scale structures on surfaces. After completing his PhD, Mat worked as a Research Associate investigating polymer coatings as anti-fouling surfaces and nutrient-sensing layers.

Mat has experience in drafting and prosecuting patent applications with a wide range of chemical subject matter before the UK and European patent offices, including pharmaceutical formulations, agrochemicals, medical devices, functionalised surfaces and surface coatings, and nano-materials.
