Luke Bannar-Martin
Luke Bannar-Martin has an MEng in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London, having graduated in 2010.  His final year project saw him as Chief Engineer of a team working on the conceptual design of a hydrogen fuel cell powered race car for entry in the 2012 ‘Formula Student’ competition. The project is part of ‘Racing Green’, a flagship student-led organisation at Imperial, which itself has received sponsorship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.

His personal interest in microgeneration, decentralised power and thermodynamics and the quest for an appropriate subject for an industry based PhD led him to AdvEnTech Group; an innovative Research and Technology Development firm, largely operating within the sustainability realm.

His research on the use of natural hybrid heat pumps in distributed TriGeneration with thermal storage for smart multienergy grids has real potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission and is a truly innovative project.
