Robb enjoys digging into the detail on clients’ R&D projects to ensure every aspect is carefully considered for the claim. With deep industry experience, he enjoys drawing on his knowledge to support businesses at every stage of their growth journey.
Before joining HaysMac in 2025, Robb completed a Ph.D. in Physics, focusing on quantitative measurement solutions for nanotechnology applications. He went on to spend several years as a scientist at a national laboratory, publishing 16 peer-reviewed articles on energy-efficient processes for next-generation computing. In 2023, Robb pivoted into technology consulting, where he’s since helped companies, from agile start-ups to Fortune 500s, prepare high-quality claims for tax incentives, grants, and subsidies.
Away from the office, Robb enjoys obsessing over his running metrics and putting off starting DIY projects.
