Biography
Jared joined Oxford from industry, coming from manufacturing and early-stage sustainability-focused start-ups. With expertise in automation, manufacturing, robotics, and product R&D, he now leads the robotics software engineering team at the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI). As a robotics software and systems lead works with academic research groups at ORI to build, fix, and optimise the systems that keep their robots running (and occasionally behaving). While he doesn't conduct his own research, he's the one making sure the R2-D2s roll smoothly and the C-3POs don't spiral into existential crises
