“Dr. Briggs’ decorated background will help LocatorX spearhead the future of supply chain anti-counterfeiting, authentication and tracking technology.”

Briggs brings decades of expertise to the role.

His current work focuses on materials and techniques for quantum technologies and their incorporation into practical devices. In addition to his groundbreaking research, Briggs has contributed his expertise to leading global companies including Hitachi and Hewlett-Packard.

Briggs is Emeritus Professor of Nanomaterials at the University of Oxford, where he was elected in 2002 to the newly created Chair of Nanomaterials. Briggs directed the Quantum Information Processing Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration from 2002-2009. As part of his work in the University of Oxford, Briggs led a team developing a solid-state miniature atomic clock, which uses nanotechnology and quantum transitions for inexpensively tracking any physical asset of any size. LocatorX has exclusive global rights to commercialize the clock through 2032.
