Profile Summary

Callum is an experienced laser physicist / optical engineer with a demonstrated history of working on optics-based R&D projects. He obtained a PhD developing novel high power laser architectures at the Optoelectronics Research Center, University of Southampton. He has worked on exciting and cutting-edge postdoc projects, including the development of a robust high power hollow-core fiber delivery system for materials processing applications at the University of Southampton, and the development of a deep-UV supercontinuum laser system with unprecedented noise properties for applications within semiconductor metrology at the Technical University of Denmark. He has also spent two years in the health-tech industry, where he developed an optics-based in vitro medical device adhering to ISO 13485. He currently works as a postdoc at the Technical University of Denmark developing fiber-based supercontinuum sources spanning DUV to MIR. He has a strong publication record across a wide range of areas within optics and photonics and has generated multiple important patents. He is skilled in laser physics, high power lasers, pulsed lasers, free space optics, optical fibers, supercontinuum sources, nonlinear optics, medical devices, imaging, microscopy, optical engineering, nanoparticles, microfluidics and mathematical modelling.
