Richard has over 17 years’ experience working with a broad range of laser technology. He joined Edinburgh Instruments in 2005 as a Senior Laser Scientist and became Division Manager in 2006, with his main focus being directed towards the development of lasers and light sources for the life-science and analytical instrumentation markets. Since restructuring Richard now manages the Laser Group within the newly formed Photonics Division.
