Alexander Hannon
Transition Technologies is led by Alex Hannon BE(HONS) First Class, MRES (Distinction).
Alex applies his engineering expertise to ultra-high tech projects that deliver practical change. He has completed successful R&D projects across several engineering disciplines, including Classical Mechanical-Aerospace, Energy Systems and Chemical Engineering Processes.
Career highlights:
- Member of the team that designed and developed the Electron Rocket and Photon Satellite bus while at Rocket Lab, assisting with the first 5 launches
- Attending the doctoral training program at Cambridge University’s Whittle Lab, completing a research Masters in Future Propulsion and Power
- Other notable projects:
- Design of medical devices for drug delivery
- Chemical compound testing apparatus
- Alternative fixed-carbon and hydrogen production
- Green chemistry: Rubber devulcanisation
- Green chemistry: Super-critical wet oxidation & Sub-critical hydrothermal processes
- Waste-2-Value processes: Food, rubber, plastics, biomass.
Alex is currently working on high-level innovations relating to the transition of food production and process mechanisms, treatment of waste, and alternative energy systems. Each project has a commercial development partner and are supported and partially funded by MPI, MBIE, Callaghan Innovation and growing.
Transition Technologies combines sought-after technical expertise with a commercial mindset to deliver practical, sustainable, efficient engineering solutions. Contact Alex to learn more about how he can support or lead your next engineering venture.
