EPSRC Industrial CASE PhD Studentship: Calibration Phantoms for Optical Coherence Tomography at Aston University

Kate Sugden joined Aston University in 2004 having spent seven years in industry and became a Senior Lecturer in 2008. After a PhD (on the fabrication and application of fibre Bragg gratings) and a two year stint as a research fellow she worked for ADC in Australia for a year transferring fibre Bragg grating technology into a production environment. On return to the UK she worked as a director for two fibre optic companies, first for Oxford Fiber Optic Tools, and then Indigo Photonics, in 2001 which was sold to Insensys in 2003. Her main research interests are in fibre optic sensing, fibre Bragg gratings and fs materials processing
