Over a period of nearly 50 years and starting in 1975 as a research assistant in the ‘Edinburgh Wave Power Project’ at Edinburgh University, Jamie Taylor was variously mentored by, worked under, or collaborated with Stephen Salter - who taught him more or less everything there was to know about how to go about solving problems and making things. At other times, during this period he was a worker/director in a pioneering renewable energy co-operative, an electrical engineer in Bolivia and project manager for a university spin-out.
