Bio
With a degree in Aerospace Engineering from Adelaide University, and a Masters in Aircraft Design from Cranfield University, Mark previously worked with submarines in Australia and in aircraft manufacturing in Europe. During this time he led or contributed to aircraft systems design and manufacturing projects across the UK, Italy, South Korea and the US.

His first major innovative project came in 2011, when he designed and built the world's first plasma actuated UAV, where mechanical ailerons of an aircraft were replaced by plasmerons - devices that used high voltage discharge of electrons to control the airflow around a wing chord.

He was also involved with the development of a carbon nanotube electrothermal ice protection system for aircraft leading edges. His contribution began from conception through to multiple build and test phases at the icing wind tunnel test facilities in New York with his team.

He has broad technical experience in manufacturing, maintenance, and industry processes, all within the framework of an international career.
