Andrew Bowd

I am a Scot from the Scottish Borders who lives and works in Upstate New York. By day I lead a team that builds robots so I have a strong affinity with science, technology and everything STEM. My career has spanned from Scotland to Germany to Asia to the USA. I am a fluent German speaker but be warned I speak German with a bit of a Scottish accent! I am also a French speaker having worked in France too. I have given key note speeches at MIT and also at the National Academies of Science and Engineering in Washington DC. When I am not working I am a fervent supporter of the Scottish rugby team and my accent gets a bit stronger when watching the men in blue.
