Roland Moore-Colyer is a freelance writer for Live Science and managing editor at consumer tech publication TechRadar, running the Mobile Computing vertical. When he’s not writing about smartphones and tablets, he taps into more than a decade’s worth of writing experience to pen articles about everything from laptops and smartwatches, to games, cars, streaming shows and more. For Live Science, Roland focuses on electric vehicles (EVs) and charging technology, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and society, the advancement of mixed reality technology and its real-world use.
Roland’s journalism experience stems from a beginning in business to business technology, moving through to covering ‘prosumer’ technology and innovations, to a current specialism in consumer technology, working for one of the US’ largest tech sites, Tom’s Guide, before moving to TechRadar. Over the years, he’s covered stories ranging from major cyber attacks on critical infrastructure to hugely powerful gaming computers, while also digging into the evolution of AI, semiconductors, autonomous driving and more. When not writing and editing, Roland enjoys many of the food and drink trappings of London, much to the chagrin of his waistline.
