About Me

Dr. Mohammad Harris, AI manufacturing consultant and climate technology founder, London

I'm a UK-based climate and clean technology founder working at the intersection of AI-enabled manufacturing, sustainable engineering, and circular systems. My work focuses on building applied, data-driven tools for sustainable manufacturing that help SME manufacturers improve resource efficiency, reduce waste, and operate within real-world technical and commercial constraints.

I'm currently the Managing Director of Inshira Technologies, where I develop AI-enabled manufacturing and circular economy products — from customer discovery and MVP development to early pilot deployments with UK and European manufacturers.

I'm PhD-qualified in sustainable engineering and have secured and overseen more than £1m in competitive research funding, spanning academia, industry, and startups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about my background, expertise, and the kind of work I do.

My expertise sits at the intersection of sustainable engineering, AI, and industrial systems. I'm PhD-qualified in sustainable engineering from the University of Hertfordshire, with a research background spanning machine learning for industrial processes, thermal management, circular economy implementation, and manufacturing optimisation. My work has been funded by UKRI, Horizon Europe, the Royal Society, and the Alan Turing Institute, and published in journals including Elsevier and Springer. I'm particularly focused on translating advanced engineering research into practical, commercially viable tools for industrial decarbonisation.

Manufacturing processes generate large amounts of operational data — cycle times, reject rates, energy readings, material flows — that most businesses collect but rarely analyse at a granular level. Machine learning can identify patterns across that data to pinpoint exactly where energy is being wasted, where material is being lost, and which production stages are causing downstream inefficiency. My peer-reviewed research has demonstrated outcomes of 29% energy savings, 43% cost reductions, and 19% lower emissions by applying this approach — without large capital investment in new equipment or sensors.

Yes. I'm open to consulting engagements, advisory board roles, and research collaborations in industrial decarbonisation, sustainable manufacturing, AI in industry, and climate technology. I'm also available for speaking at events and panels on these topics. The best way to get in touch is via harris@inshira.co.uk or through the contact page.
