Stephen Blake

Stephen spent five years servicing large jets in the RAF and then went back to college to study engineering. He’s currently at works at Institute of Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy (IESSG), at the University of Nottingham looking at ways to make Global Positioning Systems (yes, that TomTom to you and me!) cheaper and more accurate.

He’s run a nightclub (a keen house music fan) and can cook. A well-rounded, modern man he would like to meet Marconi. Why? Watch the video!
