Dear Ms Iona Dott
Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP)
I am writing to apply for the position of Postdoctoral Senior Researcher required: Optoelectronics and Photonics as Advertised by SUPA careers website. Please find my CV enclosed.
I am convinced that my industry experience, educational background and enthusiasm would be of interest and relevance to you and your research and commercial projects. I have experience in nanophotonics; biophotonics; basic optical communications and strong expertise in optical interconnects; some optical fibre technology; strong skills in photodetectors and imaging; photonic integration and packaging; micro-fabrication of photonic devices I have applied Multi-Spectral Imaging in several projects and I have gained experience in optical design, optical interferometry for adaptive optics and micro-optics design and micromachining.
I am working in setting up a commercial company with academic and enterprise partners for a novel confocal spectroscopy product with experience in market research with good feedback from Innovate UK 2015, and also applying the next innovative UK call with China. I am actively journal reviewer of the SPIE Optical Engineering and IEEE Photonics Journal.
I am holding a Ph.D from Heriot Watt University. I have contributed to the commercialisation of products within industry and academy. I graduated with an MSc in Embedded Systems from Heriot Watt University, and hold a BEng (Hons) in Electronics and Computing Engineering from Napier.
As you can see from my CV, I can offer a considerable amount of relevant experience:
· Research and development for MOEMS. Optical Design and Coatings Analysis.
· Optical design using Ray-tracing in ASAP Optical Programming (Accredited), Zemax.
· Optical design using FDTD optics in Matlab, Lumerical , Optiwave and RSOFT.
· Interfacing development in analogue and digital design for optical applications as motion control for fiber optics and lasers.
· Image Processing for Optical Applications.
· Interferometry systems design for Incoherent, Coherent (lasers, laser diodes) sources, micro–optics components and adaptive optics.
· IR Interferometry.
· COMSOL: MEMs, Beam Propagation, Ray-Tracing toolbox.
· Spectrometry experienced with the Edinburgh Instruments spectrometer LP920.
· Labview accreditation and programming for DAQ and Motion control in optical applications (positioning and alignment).
· Digital signal Processing, medical instrumentation (EEG, ECG, Optical Devices (surgical))
· Mathematical development and design for Engineering and Optical applications. Design and develop-ping scripts in Matlab and Mathcad for analysis, testing and validation.
· C, C++ applied to different projects as optical design.
· Project Manager Course. Used tools: MS project and PRINCE 2.
· Native Spanish speaker (and of course, I have excellent English language skills too)
· Learning Chinese at present.
I am a naturally enthusiastic and analytical person, at home in all kinds of settings, and happy communicating with people at all levels. I hope sincerely that my application will be of interest to you and look forward to hearing from you in the not-too-distant future.
Yours sincerely
Luis Acevedo
