Shuki served as the CTO and CSO in several organizations, including ICL , Plasan and Shizim medical group. He founded multiple companies and centers including 2 innovation centers, NanoPass technologies, Tortech Nano Fibers, Terra Biomatrix. He is currently serving as the CEO of Q-Flo (UK), visiting Fellow in Fitzwilliam collage and Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Shuki is a Doctor of Science awarded from the Technion supervised by Prof. Dan Shachtman (Nobel Prize laureate 2011).

QFlo (UK) is a startup company with unique nano technology process based on a novel innovation of Prof. Alan Windle from Cambridge University. The zero-emission process uses Methane gas from natural sources or from landfill to produce Ultra-Long Carbon Nanotubes (ULCNT) non-woven mats, ULCNT fibers, dispersions and pure Hydrogen (H2) gas. The ULCNT have unique properties such as: light weight, high specific electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, chemical stability, high strength and high toughness. These unique properties open a wide range of new opportunities in the world of materials such as “smart” textile, EMI shielding for 5G communication, construction, water and air filters (including corona viruses), energy (supercapacitors, batteries), de-icing for aviation, hybrid composites for automotive, sport goods, heat dissipation devices, health monitoring and many more.

The novel process also provides a green energy bridge to convert Methane to sequestrated carbon and clean usable Hydrogen which can be used as an energy source or process chemical. Q-Flo & Tortech nanofibers are two companies focusing on production scale-up and continue to cooperate closely with researchers in Cambridge University labs. Proof of concepts trials have been completed with potential customers for most of the applications mentioned above and we are looking forward to building high-volume mass production plant to satisfy worldwide market needs.
