Summary on Grant Application Form |
My research concentrates on developing technology to offer compact, reliable, robust laser products to be employed by
industrial end-users on their own sites to characterise complex 3D objects, helping to bridge the gap between industry and
academic research. There are two main areas of research that are of interest, surface analysis and time-resolved
tomographic mapping of the internal structures. Lasers can offer an industrial solution to both of these problems. In
partnership with the High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult and Johnson Matthey plc I will conduct research at the CLF
and undertake knowledge transfer placements with them to define what issues they face and design specific laser-based
solutions around the problems that I find with a view to translation of the technology into industrial environments.
