I fell into entrepreneurship soon after completing my graduate research program. Professor Kiyonori Suzuki and I co-developed a new material called Aeroperm, which is a new magnetic materials technology. I created a spinout company at Monash University to explore the potential of scaling the innovation for worldwide applications. Kite Magnetics is a deep-tech hardware start-up developing the technologies required for a new age of electric aviation, one that is safer, quieter, significantly cheaper and emissions-free.”
