PyrOptik provides instrumentation services and products to manufacturing industries - with a focus on high temperature applications e.g. thermal imaging, temperature measurement.

Professor of Metrology (optical sensors and instrumentation)

Senior Lecturer in Sensor Systems

Five year UK research council fellowship, with the aim of building a leading academic research group. The remit is innovations in temperature measurement and thermal imaging, with a focus on applications in manufacturing.

Innovations in radiation thermometry and thermal imaging. Successful projects included development of new semiconductor infrared detectors, developing a better understanding of thermal radiation for algorithm thermometry and novel ultra high dynamic range thermal imaging.

Opto-electronic systems Engineer and Physicist. Expert in radiation thermometry, thermal imaging, optical design, instrumentation and radiometery.

In collaboration with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)Designed and built optical experiments to measure refractive index, birefringence and Raman spectroscopy for characterising liquid crystal materials. Brought the project to successful, on time completion.Supervised Ph. D. students

CASE award). "Linear and Non-Linear Optics of Liquid Crystal Photonic Devices"Experience gained in: Lasers (Nd-YAG, semiconductor, He-Ne and Ar ion), Displays (LCD), Materials Microscopy and Characterisation, Computational Physics, Spectroscopy, Laser Beam Measurement, Holography, Electronics, Lithography, High Voltage Supplies and Measurement/Diagnostics (using Oscilloscopes, etc).Over eighteen months, took "Lasing Liquid Crystals" project from experiment design to what was considered world leading research and presented at international conferences, including to an audience of over 100 people.
