   Biography:

   Joining TeraView in 2007, David is responsible for the business development of industrial applications. He has over 15 years experience in the application of spectroscopic and analytical techniques to industry. Graduating from Durham University in the UK with a degree in Applied Physics, David has worked providing analytical solutions to several industries such as refining, pharmaceutical and electronics with large companies such as ABB and smaller start-ups using innovative techniques to solve analytical problems.

   Abstract:

   Terahertz light lies between infrared and microwaves. TeraView has been developing terahertz technology and applications for over 10 years in several industries. Rapid, non-destructive and non-contact, low power terahertz light pulses can accurately measure individual layer thickness of a multiple layer paint coating and can be used to rapidly scan large areas with multiple readings. This can enable 100% quality inspection of multiple panels and also be used as a diagnostic tool for defects and process development. This talk will discuss advances in the use of terahertz light from the research arena towards real world applications in industry. Demonstrating work initially developed for measuring pharmaceutical tablet coatings, applications within automotive and industrial paint and coating applications will be discussed.
