Alasdair Keane is a Scottish broadcast journalist and technology presenter based in Glasgow, Scotland. His date of birth, parents, and early personal life are not publicly documented.
After completing a postgraduate degree in journalism at Cardiff University, Keane built a career in broadcast journalism centred on technology and science reporting. He is a senior reporter on the BBC’s Tech Now show, covering technology and innovation stories for global audiences across TV, radio and online, with a strong talent for making complex research accessible to wider audiences.
He has reported from around the world for BBC Tech Now and Tech Life, trying out the world’s newest inventions — from driving a real car by remote control to racing F1 esports stars and tasting snacks straight off an assembly line. In the first episode of Tech Now, Keane headed behind the scenes of Europe’s newest and biggest wildlife endocrinology labs at Chester Zoo.
As of early 2026, Keane is currently on a career break, based at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in Vienna, where he is spending three months immersed in science and tech research — from AI to glaciology — to explore further how science is accurately communicated to global audiences. His personal family life is not publicly documented.
