Dr. Ashley Pursglove

If it’s weird, hard, or hasn’t been built yet — I’m probably interested. I design, prototype, and ship across materials, electronics, and big messy hardware — then write the clean, stable code and automation that makes the whole thing actually run itself at 3am.

How I work

I build for the field, not the seminar room. A prototype that only lives in a lab isn’t finished — real work means something that ships, installs, and keeps running when weather, supply chains, and tired operators get involved.

I like problems that cross disciplines: the chemistry plus the electronics plus the civil plus the software. If it needs a little bit of everything and a lot of stubbornness, that’s where I tend to do my best work.

Ideas only count here if they survive contact with reality.

Systems thinking

Comfortable tying hard, soft, and wet disciplines together — so the thing built in the lab still makes sense in a shipping container, on a site, and in a supplier’s quote.

Materials & chemistry

Formulations, regulatory paths (USP, FDA, NSF), and scale-up — aimed at things that end up on shelves, on sites, or in a patient’s hand, not just a paper.

Automation & controls

PLCs, robotics, sensors, and embedded software for real factory floors and harsh sites — TIA Portal, modern code, custom electronics, whatever keeps the plant honest.

Got a problem that won't behave?

Happy to talk — whether it’s an advisory chat, a deep-tech build, or a half-formed idea you’re not sure what to do with. The harder it is, the more interested I usually am.
