Tegwen Malik

Due to a long period off the squash circuit, she had to come through qualifying rounds to reach the main draw.

Tegwen subsequently went on to compete in the well respected Monte Carlo Classic, beating several top world ranked players to reach the semi-finals.

Tegwen often paired with Gavin Jones for mixed doubles events, winning a test series against the National Irish team in Belfast before going out to compete in the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth games where they narrowly lost in the quarter-finals to the Australian mixed doubles pair (Natalie Grinham and Joseph Kneipp) who went on to win the gold.

She has published several articles [9, 10] in peer reviewed journals in this field and was invited to give a guest talk on this research at MIT.

Tegwen subsequently went on to work for Lifescaped, a company specialising in the field of biomimicry before taking up a permanent position, lecturing at Swansea University in the areas on business analytics and international standards.
