Robert Lamb, SELEX Galileo
Robert is Chief Technologist for SELEX Galileo’s electro-optics. He is also an honorary Professor of physics at Heriot-Watt University. His research interests focus on nonlinear optics and lasers for active imaging, electro-optical and directional infrared countermeasures, and ultralow-light sensing using photon counting for range finding. Robert will talk in the “Sensing for Security” session.

Phil Nash, Stingray Geophysical
Phil has 25 years’ experience of fibre-optic sensor development, beginning with deployment in 1986 of the world’s first seabed optical hydrophone array while working for Marconi. He later held various positions in UK defence research laboratories and QinetiQ, where he pioneered the use of fibre-optic acoustic technology for non-defence applications such as seabed seismic. Phil talks in “Sensitive Measurements in Extreme environments” session.

Scott Reed, SeeByte
Scott is Head of Engineering at SeeByte. Scott drives SeeByte's ever-growing engineering group, and is responsible for the delivery of SeeByte's engineering solutions, for monitoring quality assurance and ensuring SeeByte's engineering group fulfils their technical, sales, support and training requirements.
Scott talks  “From Data to Information” session.

Murdo Black, Axis Shield
Murdo is the Director of Research & Development at Axis Shield, an innovative Anglo-Norwegian company focused on the development and manufacture of important in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests for use in clinical laboratories and at the point of care.
