Blue obtained a first class honours degree in industrial design in 1995,
and a PhD in electronic materials and manufacturing in 1999, both from
the Department of Design at Brunel University. His key research
interests are printing as a process for electronics manufacture and low
cost renewable energy systems.The development of a lithographic printing
method of producing electrical interconnect and components has laid the
foundations of much of the printing work subsequently done by the
research group. Further work has focussed on temperature sensing and
power generation using printed and thin film structures and room
temperature PEM fuel cell design. Particularly printed electrode
membrane assemblies and a self pressurising electrolysis/fuel cell
system.
Blue has been principle investigator or worked on six EPSRC grants
within the Cleaner Electronics Research Group and has successfully
licensed two different printed electronics based technologies. He has
published his work a variety of journal publications, technical
publications and patents and conferences in the areas of environmental
electronics, sensors, materials and design. In 2004 Blue started
VCT,
a small design engineering company specialising technical product
development.
