Matt Clark
Matt Clark trained as a Physicist at Imperial College and Manchester University. Following this he worked as a research associate at the University of Nottingham (UoN) to develop novel techniques for generating and controlling laser ultrasound. In 2000 he was awarded an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship to investigate acoustical aberrations and adaptive acoustics and in 2005 an EPSRC Challenging Engineering award for the development on smart optical sensors and current holds a Challenging Engineering award for developing nanoscale ultrasonic imaging techniques.
His research covers a wide range of interdisciplinary subjects in optics and ultrasonics.
