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.
Been busying myself with some lab work lately, assembling a new interferometer – a refreshing and welcoming change from all that desk work I had been doing until recently!
My inexpensive stroke counter is all set up to go!
Can’t wait to test it out on the water.. 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.
