Andrew has a particular interest in quantum algorithms. He handles patent applications for quantum technologies across the full spectrum of this technology sector including drafting and prosecuting patent applications for quantum computing, such as quantum information processing circuits, quantum algorithms, and quantum error correction, as well as inventions relating to AI, such as classical machine-learning algorithms and those employing quantum information. 

Johannes has a special focus on quantum algorithms. His undergraduate and postgraduate education focussed on quantum physics within the context of quantum foundations and quantum information, with a particular interest in the characterisation of information extractable from quantum states. His academic background is complemented with practical experience prosecuting consumer technology implementing AI/ML, such as cameras and televisions.

Amelia is a technical assistant in our AI team with particular expertise in the application of AI to digital security and quantum technologies. She has an MSci in mathematics from Imperial College London, and has experience prosecuting AI patents in relation to med-tech. While personally specialising in topology, her degree covers a wide range of subject areas, with knowledge in machine learning and number theory being especially useful in relation to cryptography and digital security. 

Luke works across a broad range of software, electronics and communication technologies. He has experience of drafting and prosecuting patent applications in the UK and at the EPO, as well as coordinating patent portfolio management across many multinational territories. He additionally has experience of freedom to operate (FTO) and patent landscape analysis. He also has experience of managing and delivering corporate IP training content.

Luke has a first class undergraduate degree in Physics from the University of Liverpool and a master’s degree in Biophotonics from Cardiff University.

He joined the patent attorney profession in 2016 at another large private practice firm. He qualified as a UK Chartered Patent attorney and as a European Patent Attorney in 2021. He additionally has in-house experience working as a Patent Attorney at a multinational semiconductor manufacturing company.

Simon has extensive experience in robotics, AI, and autonomous systems, covering both research and applied development. Before joining Mewburn Ellis, he worked as an AI Software Engineer at a startup developing autonomous driving solutions for commercial vehicles in industries like agriculture, mining, and logistics. Part of his work focused on developing, optimizing, and deploying deep learning models using Python (including PyTorch and related libraries) and C++. Additionally, he worked with the Robot Operating System (ROS2). Previously, Simon gained industrial automation experience as a working student at a large, international company. With this multidisciplinary background, he offers a broad and practical perspective on the evolving applications of artificial intelligence across various sectors.
