Education

Faragher graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Science degrees in Experimental and Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge in 2004. In 2008 he was awarded a PhD, supervised by Peter Duffett Smith with a thesis on the Effects of Multipath Interference on Radio Positioning Systems.[1]

Industry

On completing his PhD, Faragher worked for BAE systems where he was a Technical Lead for a number of navigation, tracking and sensor fusion programmes, building on expertise in GPS-Denied navigation using novel methods including opportunistic radio signals. He also developed the award-winning NAVSOP positioning suite.[2] In 2014 Faragher was awarded a Fellowship by the Royal Institute of Navigation in recognition of his accomplishments.

His work in industry was also recognised by Top Gear, who described Faragher as a real-life Q.[3]

Faragher founded Focal Point Positioning in 2015 with members of the original NAVSOP team.[4] In June 2020 Focal Point Positioning was awarded both The Duke of Edinburgh's Navigation Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement from the Royal Institute of Navigation [5], and the Hottest SpaceTech Startup in Europe accolade from the Europas.
