Sarat Babu   






I work on physical products focusing on the convergence between design, manufacturing, materials and software. I've developed new computational methods, processes and commerical strategies needed to conceive, execute and scale the performances advances this confluence unlocks.

Currently I am part of Meta’s Reality Labs working on mixed reality devices.
Previously, I worked as CDO at Alloyed. CEO at Betatype. Founder at Orthonika. Research Associate in the Medical Engineering group at Imperial College London. Senior Visiting Tutor on the Innovation Design Engineering course at the Royal College of Art, and Materials Specialist at Ross Lovegrove Studio
