PJ holds a Bachelors in Physics from Trinity College Dublin and a Masters in Astronau-tics & Space Engineering from Cranfield University in the UK. PJ deferred his PhD atStanford University in the mid 1990's to found a software company, Clockworks Inter-national. PJ grew Clockworks from a one-person company in 1995, to a multi-milliondollar revenue business and a staff of over 70 by 1999, when he concluded a tradesale of the company. In 2007, PJ completed a corporate turnaround and privatizationof CNG Travel Group PLC, a travel and technology company. PJ restructured that com-pany and turned it from making a $23 million loss to making $4.2 million operating

profit within 12 months. After extensive research in the renewable energy market, PJ founded a newresearch institute ReResearch in 2010. The goal of the institute is to collaborate with the very best uni-versity research facilities utilizing goal-orientated management to seek breakthroughs in materials thatcan fundamentally alter the renewable energy landscape. PJ serves on the commercialization board ofthe CRANN Nanotechnology Institute. PJ is also a Founder Astronaut on Virgin’s space venture, which isdue to begin commercial launch operations in the next few years.
