I know, I know…
… that I should have already taken off the “hello world” messages and personalised the website a little bit, but I have been so overwhelmed with things to do that I still haven’t got the time to do it.
Well, at least you no longer see the “hello world” default WordPress post right at the top of the page. That’s a start, right? š
The venerable PowerBook
that was serving both my personal webpage and my “virtual museum” website before I migrated everything to this new off-site server. When I went abroad for 6 months I left it on 24/7, and it never crashed! Just look at that, a 12-year old computer with a 200+-day uptime!!
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.
