Professional biography

Dr Geraint (Taff) Morgan FRSC FRSA FRAS spent the first half of his career working for Profs Colin Pillinger FRS and Ian Wright, conceiving, designing, building and validating instruments for the Rosetta and Beagle2 space missions and working on the development of a stable isotope instrument to constrain the global budget of terrestrial atmospheric methane. Since successfully analysing a comet, he has  led the space technology translation agenda at the OU.  His research teams have successfully developed a wide range of bespoke, high impact, sector disruptive solutions to terrestrial challenges, including developing the award-winning air quality monitoring system for use on all future UK submarines (creating over a dozen jobs in a UK SME in the process, securing them a multimillion pound contract and a pipeline of work for a couple of decades) and instruments for the world’s largest flavours and fragrance company.  His transition to a more commercially focussed research agenda started when he was appointed the OU's first London Technology Network Business Fellow in 2007.  This agenda has grown ever since, including a  5 year tenure as the Knowledge Exchange Lead for SPS  and being the B9 Physics  Impact Lead (including providing two of the four B9 Impact Case Studies) for REF 2021.

Funding from a series of academia-industry programmes, has allowed him to work with end-users to develop novel VOC sniffing solutions (mainly GC-MS and GCxGC-MS and now SIFT-MS) for a diverse range of commercial partners, from SMEs to global multi-nationals.  This has included being the lead supervisor on 5 commercially sponsored PhD Studentships (Yorkshire Water Solutions Ltd, TrichoTech Ltd, Anatune Ltd, Owlstone Ltd, Anthias Consulting Ltd) out of total of 10 PhD students he has supervised to completion. His laboratory hosts the highly successful gas chromatography- mass spectrometry training courses, with Anthias

Amongst others,  his commercial projects have characterised the volatile profiles of bed bugs, avocados, chicken sheds, bagged salads, car interiors, and even urine samples.   In partnership with LECO Instruments Inc (UK), and domain experts, his research team have established a leading capability for the analyses of distilled spirits, especially Scotch Whisky using comprehensive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCxGC-MS) – though he is also working with the growing number of English, Welsh, Irish, US and even Chinese distillers to help protect the sector from fakes and to improve processes and ultimately create new products.  The ability to resolve, identify and quantify the components of highly complex samples in a timely manner is also proving valuable in other sectors, particularly food and drink. 

He is the founder and director of four companies  (Applied Science & Technology Solutions Ltd, Oxford MicroMedical Ltd, Insect Research Systems Ltd, B&M Solutions Ltd).  Two of which (OMM and IRS) are alumni of the European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre (ESA BIC - Harwell).  He is a named inventor on two live patents (one owned by the OU and the other owned by one of his companies), both patents are the subject of late-stage commercial licensing /sales negotiations.  Over the last couple of years he has significantly grown the portfolio of consultancy and lab service contracts with commercial customers on top of larger commercial research projects.  As joint PI for an OU/Wolfson Foundation proposal he was able secure the purchase of the first Syft TRACER (SIFT-MS) in the World, which will significantly extend the range of analytical compunds that can be characterised.

He is still active in Space research, having been a co- author of a 2022 Science article, that analysed the volatile components of the UK Winchcombe meteorite, using a SIFT-MS  - he is also a Joint PI for the JOCELYN instrument on the proposed ESA M7 CALICO Mission, to CERES in 2037.   He is also an Associate Director and Commercialisation Lead of the highly successful AstrobiologyOU  Research Group, which explores the adaptation of microbes under extreme environmental conditions.

[E3] - Astrobiology at The Open University
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Aug 201931 Mar 2023Research England

Astrobiology is an emerging scientific field and is driven by the question ‘are we alone in the Universe?’ With an increasing number of life-detection/habitability missions, astrobiology is at the core of nations’ space strategies. The Open University Astrobiology Unit focuses on understanding how, and where, life might be found, by combining field work, laboratory simulations and mission data. Building on this expertise, Unit members are involved in key astrobiology-related missions and in developing planetary protection regulations. E3 funding will build capacity in line with future missions by furthering our understanding of extraterrestrial environments and potential life, through developing facilities to simulate these environments and investigating analogue sites. This is aimed at understanding if, and where, life may be found beyond the Earth. The Unit will develop its expertise to meet the new challenges that arise as the private sector and smaller nations develop exploration capacity. This includes supporting the sector to meet, and define, planetary protection requirements and to address space governance, for example, ensuring environmental sustainability of missions. The Unit will develop relevant education material for the expanding space sector, and it will work to ensure knowledge and expertise in astrobiology is used in a just and equitable manner. Sustainability of the Unit will be underpinned by commercial services, external funding, and University investment. The Unit will support the growth of astrobiology networks of industry, higher educational institutes and policymakers, and early career researchers, to ensure that the UK is globally recognised and influential within the field.

The Valve : A Solution for Satellite Propulsion (HTP)
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Jul 201530 Jun 2016Innovate UK

Recent discussions with the Satellite Propulsion Group at SSTL Ltd have resulted in them rating the development, qualification and implemention of the OU's patented proportional valve as being their strategic R&D priority for 2015. Simon Sheridan is the lead inventor the patent (The Valve) along with Martin Jarvis and Geraint Morgan. Oli Lane from SSTL will lead a bid to Innovate UK that will use the OU as their academic project partners to translate the exisiting know-how to SSTL. A second commercial company (tank manufacturer) may also form part of the application (tbc). A commercial Licensing Deal between the OU and SSTL will be a pre-requisite for the work to go ahead. Meetings are scheduled with Malcolm Stokes and iain Gilmour to further this agenda. With SSTL being a subsidiary of Airbus - derivatives of the OU valves have the potential to be utlised as part of the propulsion systems on future small and large (including geostationary) satellites. SSTL would provide the route to market and would conduct the necessary space qualification. Budget available to the OU is likely to be 80% of £80k (tbc)
