Vodafone UK has some free SMS-based services such as this one, in which you text a given number and it returns you your approximate location (I reckon based on cell tower location services..). This seemed like an interesting service, but I was failing to see the point of it – until I saw the rest of the text. Of course! The Brits and their drinking habits… š
Hello there, and welcome to my personal web page/blog!
My name is Manuel Marques, and Iām a lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kent (United Kingdom). I am also a researcher in the Applied Optics Group at the same institution. My work lies mostly in the area of Applied Optics, namely white light interferometry and its two/three-dimensional variant, optical coherence tomography.
Outside work I'm a keen runner/sculler/rower/cyclist, and I do enjoy being in the outdoors (photographing them is a bonus, too!). Other hobbies include tinkering with things, both big and small (not always with a positive outcome, I must say), travelling, reading, in no specific order.
