Principal Consultant
Rowan Pocock
đź“Ť Edinburgh, Scotland
With a decade of photonics industry experience, an Engineering Doctorate in Applied Photonics and Master's degrees in Physics and Photonics & Optoelectronic Devices, I help organisations turn complex optical ideas into practical engineering solutions.
My work spans photonic device concepts, optical design, simulation and optimisation, prototype process flows, engineering automation and technical data analysis. I support teams from early feasibility through to prototype development and manufacturing readiness.
