The Mathematical Institute has its very own Entrepreneur-in-Residence.
The Royal Society Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) scheme aims to increase the knowledge and awareness in UK universities of cutting edge industrial science, research and innovation. Chris Daniels is our EiR and has been in the department for 2 years. He can advise on spinning out companies, the "real world" of industry and commerce and how to move into it, the start-up ecosystems, Knowledge Exchange etc.
Chris studied maths as an undergraduate at Oxford, and has had a varied career since including software development, trading floor banking, deeptech start-ups and an eclectic range of other roles including Expedition Leader, Paratrooper, Olympics sponsor and airship expert. Drop him a note at @email if you want to have a chat - he's normally in the department every Friday.
