Can’t think of anything better to celebrate my 26th birthday than to go out on a sculling boat at 6:30 AM! The weather was absolutely gorgeous, I have to say…

When I put that table against the hedge, there were no leaves whatsoever; and that was a week and a half ago! Now Nature is claiming the table back…

Can’t wait to test it out on the water.. š

4 hours and a half and 1.5 litres of tea later I finally managed to go through the last 9 reports I had left to mark. It is over!!

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.
