* Working inclusively and collaboratively to develop partnership opportunities
As a member of a world-leading Temperature and Humidity measurement group, you will be involved in activities ranging from government-funded research to industry-focused applications. Contemporary optical thermometry techniques, focusing on luminescence materials, have the potential to provide innovative solutions to industrial challenges across sectors including manufacturing, energy, environment, and healthcare.
Current research activities include:
* Designing, constructing, and validating novel luminescence surface thermometry systems for industrial applications
* Developing a robust metrological foundation for luminescence thermometry, including calibration artifacts and extending temperature measurement limits
* Applying optical diagnostics for low uncertainty temperature measurements in physical experiments
* Commercialising laboratory luminescence thermometers for industrial use
This R&D role involves:
* Experiment design, construction, and operation, including data acquisition and analysis
* Reporting work internally and externally, including publications and conference presentations
