Following my studies in the field of physics & optics, I spent my early career with Hewlett-Packard/Agilent Technologies in their fibre-optic component operation. It was here that I worked in technical research, process engineering & device design roles in optical fibres, lasers & optoelectronic detector products.I founded an IT business in 1999 which I operated & grew for 10 years before successfully selling & moving back to a role in the photonics industry, in particular optical thin films. My current role at Helia Photonics includes business & technology innovation, process development, technical sales & equipment engineering as well as marketing, design & optical analysis. The products I am actively involved in include imaging & detector systems, lasers & laser optics, optical filters & fibre sensors. I am involved with the applications & project management associated with research grants in collaboration with UK/international partners & a number of universities.
Listed skills include Optics, Thin Films, Physics, Semiconductors, and 12 others.
