Following his graduation from the then Polytechnic of Wales in 1980, Neil Lewis went on to complete a PhD in the field of molecular spectroscopy.
A series of posts at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland, US followed, culminating in that of Senior Biophysical Researcher.
His activities involved the development of novel methods for chemical imaging of biological, medical and pharmaceutical materials, including groundbreaking work in the development of spectroscopic imaging microscopy.
This utilised ideas from remote sensing, and also detector technology originally developed for military purposes by the US Government for night vision and missile guidance.
In 1998 Neil Lewis founded Spectral Dimensions which became the world leader in the manufacture of instrumentation and software for chemical imaging.
In 2006 the company was acquired by Malvern Instruments and Neil joined the management team.
Now as CTO he leads all of the Malvern innovation and new product development initiatives. Request free introductory details about products from Malvern Instruments ...
