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.
And so the cold season is here!..
Very clear sky during the night with limited sunlight during the day, and we have one chilly morning 🙂
Interestingly enough, my office only went as low as 20°C overnight! I wonder the fortune the university is spending on heating bills…
Hello there, and welcome to my personal web page/blog!
My name is Manuel Marques, and I’m 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.
