Alex joined Reddie & Grose in 2016 after graduating with a Master’s degree in Engineering Science. During his degree, Alex specialised in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. These specialties served him well during his final university project concerning the design of a radial-inflow turbine for an organic Rankine cycle, and during his internship in a mechanical engineering team at Rolls-Royce.
