Beyond Gas Sensing Panel Discussion
Adnan Quazi, Business Development CVC, Hamamatsu Photonics Europe GmbH
June 19, 2024
About this webinar
Explore the potential of advanced mid-infrared detection technology! Designed to foster in-depth technical dialogues and provide advanced insights into the utilization of mid-IR technologies, we brought together five expert panelists, each with their know-how in fields such as biotech, environmental science, industrial applications, security, and academic research. Watch the video recording of the panel discussion to gain valuable insights and expert advice on developing advanced technologies that redefine the boundaries of gas sensing.
About the Host and Panelists
Adnan Quazi, Business Development CVC, Hamamatsu Photonics Europe (Host)
Adnan Quazi works with Hamamatsu Ventures - the Venture Capital arm of the company. He has a background in technical sales and business development primarily in Hamamatsu's mid-infrared technologies. By working with the venture arm, he has insights into upcoming technologies for the development of new and exciting mid-infrared solutions.
Dr. Hideaki Page, Physicist and Founder of Scytronix Systems Ltd
Hideaki gained his Ph.D. in optoelectronics from the University of Surrey in 1998. He worked for eight years in Thales Research and Technology, France, developing Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCL) and their applications. He has worked on terahertz technology for TeraView UK and R&D at the Centre for Advance Photonics and Electronics (CAPE) at the University of Cambridge. With extensive experience in optics, infrared technology, electronics, engineering, and sensor design and development, Hideaki founded Scytronix Ltd in 2010 to help companies develop their applications and solve challenging technical problems.
Dr. Jane Hodgkinson, Reader in Applied Photonics, Centre for Engineering Photonics at Cranfield University
Dr. Jane Hodgkinson joined Cranfield University from the natural gas industry, where she was responsible for developing and testing new sensing technologies, particularly optical sensors for gas leaks. Jane obtained her PhD in 1998 from the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton, working in collaboration with United Utilities on photoacoustic and photothermal detection of trace chemicals in water. She gained her first degree in Natural Sciences (Physics, 1st class hons) from Cambridge University in 1989. Developing advanced tools for optical gas detection with improved levels of robustness and lower complexity, she aims to move this important technique from the laboratory and into the field.
Prof. Werner Mäntele, Chief Scientific Officer, DiaMonTech
Professor Dr. Werner Mäntele is a professor of biophysics at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. He has over 30 years of experience with spectroscopy and is a recognized expert in analyzing and detecting molecules like glucose and protein. Prof. Dr. Mäntele has also acquired a notable array of fellowships and awards throughout his career, including The ECSBM Lifetime Achievement Award (2015) and Special Prize for Applied Biophysical Sciences (Greiner Foundation, Frankfurt, 2017). Currently, Prof. Dr. Mäntele is the Chief Scientific Officer at DiaMonTech, a medical device company based on the concept of “photothermal detection”, which Prof. Dr. Mäntele and his team developed.
Prof. Des Gibson, Director of Research at the Institute of Thin Films, Sensors and Imaging at the University of the West of Scotland
Des Gibson has over thirty years track record in industry, academic based research and development and successful physics based product commercialisation, gained globally with Technical and Managing Director roles within blue chip organizations, small to medium sized companies, start-ups and close associations with academia. He has co-founded four successful physics based technology companies focussing on optical thin film and sensor technologies. Three most recent are; Gas Sensing Solutions Ltd - co-founded 2006 and a recent winner of both an Institute of Physics Innovation and a Shell Springboard awards, Applied Multilayers Ltd, co-founded 2002, acquired 2010 by Telemark Inc, USA and Albasense Ltd founded 2018. Motivated by fresh challenges and a desire to focus on research, September 2014 he joined the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) as Professor in Thin Film and Sensor Technologies and is Director and Founder of the Institute of Thin Films, Sensors and Imaging (www.itfsi.com).
