About

Sustainable engineering, AI, and the road from research to the factory floor

Background

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. The emphasis is on translating complex industrial sustainability challenges into practical digital systems with measurable energy, material, and cost impact.

I'm PhD-qualified in sustainable engineering and have secured and overseen more than £1m in competitive research funding. My work spans academia, industry, and startups, with a consistent focus on industrial decarbonisation and turning research into deployable, industry-facing solutions.
