About Emily
Bio
I am a 21 year old ethical inventor and entrepreneur studying Management and Sustainability at Leeds University. My latest invention is an environmentally friendly fridge, which runs without using electricity. I saw the problems that society faces - a reliance on fossil fuels and the dangers of global warming - and chose to create an everyday product that ran on sustainable energy. When I decided on a refrigerator I studied the existing technology and took the cooling process 'back to basics'.
I developed this refrigerator during my self-funded gap year in Africa, where I hopes it will also make a massive contribution to improving the quality of people’s lives. Most recently I was named Technology Woman of the Future, the British Female Innovator of the Year for 2007 and Cosmopolitans Ultimate Save-the-Planet Pioneer at their women of the year awards in 2008.
