Jonathan joined the Institute in March 2007. His PhD project focuses on the development of Optical Biochips, for use in applications such as the analysis of complex DNA samples.

His research deals with areas including the integration of micro-LED arrays with CMOS control circuitry and SPAD detectors, to perform functions such as fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy.

Jonathan obtained a MEng degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering in July 2006 from the University of Glasgow.
