Biography

I hold the position of Professor within the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot Watt University.

Before that:

1990:	PhD St Andrews University: Quasi-optical mm-wave instrumentation
1990-95:	St Andrews University: Post doctoral research in mm-wave instrumentation for fusion plasma diagnostics and pre-detector optical processing.
1995-99:	DERA (now QinetiQ) Malvern: research in mm-wave imaging, adaptive optics, advanced imaging, fibre-optic sensors
1999-2001:	Cranfield University: Senior Lecturer
2001:	Heriot Watt University: Senior Lecturer, Professor (2007)

I lead the Imaging Concepts Group. We conduct research into several non-conventional imaging techniques, including

	Spectral imaging
	Wavefront coding (8 Mb ppt file)
	Aperture Synthesis
	Millimetre-wave imaging
	Biophotonic and Retinal Imaging
	-Snapshot retinal spectral imaging 1,2 -Spectral imaging of the rat retina -Processing of spectral retinal images 1, 2
	Optical Field Encryption (which isn't imaging)

I am currently treasurer of the Optics and Photonics Division of the Institute of Physics and am a committee member of the IoP Optical Group. I chair the OPD component of the PhotonXX series of conferences: Photon04, Photon06 and Photon08; and organise series of meetings in Imaging In The Eye and Spectral Imaging

Resources for modules I teach are at

	Director of the Heriot Watt Engineering Doctorate Centre
	Course director for EngD in Photonics
	Second year supervisor

	Course supervisor for BEng/MEng in Electronic and Photonic Engineering
	Research Co-ordinator for Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering
	Research co-ordinator for Image and Signal Processing
