Background
Conor graduated from the University of Oxford with an integrated Master's degree in Engineering. During his degree he studied a broad range of Engineering disciplines with a focus on Electric and Information engineering, and also completed an internship as an Electrical Building Services Engineer at Arup.
His masters project was an investigation into the coupling between optical waveguides, and specifically the dependence of this phenomenon on the polarisation state and the geometry of the waveguide system. This work has potential applications in classical and quantum computing and was awarded a distinction.
Conor joined Mewburn Ellis in 2025.
