Outdoor lover. Lecturer and scientist at the University of Kent (and a bit of an engineer, as well!). Rower. Runner. Road cyclist. A bit of a geeky nerd, too. All opinions my own.
… but please, guys, next time get my university’s name right! Kent State Uni is in the United States, not in Canterbury, UK! š
(By the way, I have too many magazines getting to me and too little time to read them… :P)
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.
