​About ARIA

​ARIA - The Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) is a new UK R&D funding agency designed to unlock high-risk, high-impact scientific and technological breakthroughs for the benefit of all. It looks to fund and direct programmes that are based around a number of opportunity spaces, areas where breakthroughs in science and technology can make a huge impact on society but are currently unlikely to occur, either because the ideas are too speculative, too hard, or too interdisciplinary.

​Prior to joining ARIA Ant spent 26 years at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.
