Max is a Materials Engineer dedicated to combating the climate crisis. His academic career spanned diverse projects, including bioplastics, sponge metal electrodes for solar panels, and high-temperature alloys. After earning his doctorate, Max's frustration with the slow pace of decarbonisation in legacy industries led him to co-found VundaHaus at the Carbon13 venture builder. VundaHaus is revolutionising home retrofit through off-site manufacture, intelligent materials, and innovative design - to accelerate the transition to clean heat in homes.
