Over 23 years of postdoctoral experience in optics, I have led cutting-edge research and development in photonic systems, contributing to 44 publications and receiving ASET-certified training in Business Analysis. My expertise spans project management, reliability modelling, and technology transfer, with a strong focus on fibre optics, optical sensors, and WDM systems. I have served as Principal Investigator or Co-PI on over 10 collaborative projects across sectors such as telecommunications, defence, civil engineering, Formula 1, and medicine. I have successfully bridged the gap between academic research and industry, advancing technologies used in Rolls Royce engines, Airbus A380 systems, and MRI scanners. Additional strengths include ISO 9001 certification, Hi-Rel product qualification, and teaching physics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
