Richard Parsons is the founder and CEO of Kite Magnetics, an advanced materials startup spun out of Monash University that commercialises Aeroperm—an innovative magnetic material that can make electric motors smaller, lighter and up to 97% less lossy, directly improving EV range and cost. With a PhD in Materials Science and more than eight years in research and academic leadership at Monash, he blends deep technical expertise in nanostructured soft magnetic materials with hands-on productisation and team management. He previously ran the Monash X-ray Platform, overseeing operations, a $400k budget and collaboration with industry stakeholders, and continues to teach as an adjunct lecturer. Richard’s background as a scientist-entrepreneur positions him to translate lab-scale breakthroughs into manufacturable materials that materially reduce power losses in real-world electric drivetrains.
