Dr Tim Woolmer - Founder & CTO
Tim started his DPhil in 2005 and from a 'blank sheet of paper' approach sought to develop a motor suitable for the automotive industry. In particular, his work focused on making the axial flux machine lighter, smaller, easier to cool and suitable for high volume manufacturing. The result of his DPhil was the novel YASA motor, which has been shown to have significant weight and size benefits compared to competing technologies. With the help of Oxford University, David Walton (company chairman) and Seven Spires (our founding investors) YASA Motors was created with £1.45M of investment. Tim now works as the CTO at YASA motors where he is responsible for the technical development of the YASA motor.
Tim did a general Engineering degree at Oxford University from 2000-2004, and joined the Electrical Power Group for his DPhil in 2005.
