John joined the Institute in July 1996. His main responsibility is in the development of the Institute's applications-based activities. He obtained his PhD from the University of Southampton, before working in industry, developing commercial diode-pumped Nd:YAG lasers. Immediately prior to joining the Institute, John worked for Keeler Ltd, producing novel instruments for the treatment and diagnosis of a range of ophthalmic diseases, including the first commercial diode laser ophthalmic photocoagulator. These systems are now being sold worldwide. His research interests are primarily into the use of photonics in the biotechnology arena, including the application and development of femtosecond lasers for multiphoton imaging.
