  • Dow Corning
    Associate Scientist
    Dow Corning Apr 2003 - Jan 2016
    Centre For Advanced Photonics And Electronics At Cambridge University
    As of January 7th 2016 I have left Dow Corning. Formerly a member of the Business and Technology Incubator but based in the UK, at Cambridge University. Aligned within the corporate Science and Technology Function, but largely engaged in photonics related materials and technology development. Enabling transition of the science and technology under-pinning business development of Smart Windows; advances in lighting; and short-reach communications technologies were my last duties for the business.Employed as an consultant between 2001 and 2003, I joined Dow Corning as a full-time employee to help their development of a business in the advanced optical sciences (photonics) sectors. During my employment I helped create strategy and material development in Communications, Displays and Lighting. I was able to employ my knowledge and know-how in advanced self assembly molecular sciences, and supra-molecular materials science; also specific liquid crystal know-how for their class of materials. More generally I assisted in nano-science and molecular physics; advanced electronics (due diligence in supply-chain and in design of components and circuits); project leadership in advanced built environment development (product and manufacturing); product design and leadership in short reach communications (optical guided wave physics in multi-mode and single-mode devices and systems; ditto market and vectors of change in communications requirements). Similarly provided liaison to customers and development centres; and guided organic and large area electronics business targets; and printed manufacturing technology, sciences and market know-how.

    Scientist Dow Corning/Cambridge University
    Cape, Ktn, Epsrc, Photonics21 2001 - Jan 2016
    Centre For Advanced Photonics And Electronics
    Managed research activities in optical interconnects and advanced liquid crystal displays (LCOS and large area back-planes) and related applications. Technology-scouting and interpreter of application specifications, and writing of such, creator and shaper of new application opportunities in terms of science and technology market interceptions.
  • University Of Cambridge
    Director And Then Industry Advisor To The Cambridge Integrated Knowledge Centre
    University Of Cambridge Jan 2006 - Jan 2012
    Cambridge, Uk
    I assisted Cambridge to write the application to host the first Integrated Knowledge Centre on behalf the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The centre included both the school of physical sciences and the school of technology. Hosted by engineering it had Physics, Engineering, the Judge Business School and the Institute of Manufacturing as its principal contributors and participants from Cambridge University. It also had academic partners at Swansea-, Manchester-, Surrey-, Universities and Imperial College. Several businesses agreed to become partners inclusive of global corporate entities and UK-based SME This bid was won and I was asked to become the Director of the new centre; whose purpose was to establish the mechanisms by which wealth was created through academic-industry liaison; with a sector focus for the emergent large area and flexible technology market. Following a negotiation with Dow Corning I was seconded to the role of Director for the first two years only. I therefore helped to select programme managers and administrators; established the office and authored the strategy; and assisted the development of the centre. Then, as Director, I transferred the post (by prior agreement) to the new appointee (Chris Rider) to return to my full-time role for Dow Corning. The Cambridge Integrated Knowledge Centre (CIKC) established an enviable position from which to develop as an Advanced Technology Institute servicing: the distributed electronics; and related large area manufacturing; emergent sectors' needs; at the interface between the evolving sciences and industrial technology developments. I then continued to support the CIKC as an Industry Advisor and project participant on behalf of Dow Corning.
  • Cambridge University, Department Of Engineering, Division B Electrical Engineering
    Senior Research Associate
    Cambridge University, Department Of Engineering, Division B Electrical Engineering Nov 2001 - Apr 2003
    Cambridge, United Kingdom
    I left Nortel Networks in the process of creating the strategy for an Open Innovation model for Cambridge University to act in collaboration with Global members of the Communications Industry value-chain. The position called for me to have a formal employment within CU thus the SRA post was created. The proposal for the creation of the Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics was then refined. A series of meetings were held with prospective and target partners. In parallel funding was sought from the Strategic Research Initiative; and the policy and procedural frameworks for operational management of the proposed centre were created. A new building was planned and the works initiated to move Electrical Engineering and the new centre to the West Cambridge site. Throughout this I led the initiative and was principal author of the majority of the documentation and strategic planning. In so doing I worked very closely with the head of Electrical Engineering (Professor Bill Milne) and the head of the Photonics and Sensors group (Professor Bill Crossland); as well as the principals in the Department of Engineering (especial thanks go to Professor Keith Glover); and the Estates Management and Corporate Liaison groups within the central Cambridge University administration. Thanks also go to the lead architects from T P Bennet. To build the proposal required support from the initial corporate partners and thanks go to Luc Van Damme, Ms Babette Pettersen and Ms Sian Rees of Dow Corning; Peter Woodland and Nick Sasegawa of Alps Electric, especially, amongst the many whom helped shape the initial proposal.

    Individual Contributor: Hpocs R&D, Harlow
    Nortel Networks 1984 - 2001
    Harlow
    Research on advanced fibre and planar waveguides and the, then emergent, opto-hybrid systems. Ultra-high speed and high integration density components became the major focus for my research and innovation. During a varied component design and development career, this involved the development of optical system components such as: hybrid CMOS/MEMs Bolometer technology; fibre gratings and thin-film filters, advanced arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) multiplexors; modulation device futures, inclusive of absorption modulation and electro-optic devices; more generally in consultation for the utility and design of advanced materials for application in communications systems. Latterly this was extended to open-innovation and due diligence in technology acquisition via liaison and purchase.
  • Nortel
    Individual Contributor
    Nortel 1984 - 2001
    Itt/Stl, Stc Laboratories, Harlow, Essex
    Acted as an internal consultant in materials properties, applications and emergent technologies. In particular as these related to photonics integration, new modulator technologies and the adoption of soft materials into production engineered next generation products, especially where this was impacted by optical properties and electro-magnetic fields. This included design of manufacturing tooling and automation. Well grounded in machine- and device-level communications; the C-language and C++, Fortran and mixed language programming, I was engaged in modelling programming and real-time system programming; as well as production-line automation of equipment, especially wherein this was specialist (such as bit-error rate or similar systems or advanced micro-, and nano-precision-assembly) equipment. I specified, purchased and qualified many new (at that time extremely advanced) technologies, such as: white light interference microscopes for process evaluation; in-line computer enabled camera systems for quality inspection; laser machining and precision ablation; production worthy precision assembly machines (e.g. Suss Flip-chip bonders); metal-injection moulded parts; engineering-quality liquid-crystal polymer packaging; additive manufacturing tools (robotic and precision dispense, supported by laser ablation and cutting)...
