Scientific Writing for Photonics & Laser Systems | Modelling, Simulation & Nonlinear Optics

Profile Summary

I am a PhD laser physicist with 20 years of experience in photonics and advanced laser systems, specialising in DPSS lasers, harmonic generation, and deep-UV sources (266 nm, 213 nm). My work combines laser physics and engineering, including modelling and simulation of laser cavities, pump configurations, and nonlinear optical processes to optimise performance, efficiency, and beam quality. I have experience across multiple applications, including semiconductors, photovoltaics, defence systems, and laser-based medical research. Alongside my technical work, I am an experienced scientific writer, helping translate complex concepts into clear, structured, and impactful content. I can support with: • Scientific writing and technical documentation • Scientific editing (journal papers, reports) • Literature reviews and research summaries • Modelling and simulation of laser and optical systems • Experimental design and optimisation Reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working remotely, I focus on delivering high-quality results with clarity and precision.
