Roles: Philip Martin joined the Department in 2002 after being in a Reader in The Department of Chemical and Biological Sciences at the University of Huddersfield. His main research interests are in the gas or plasma phase of chemical processes. The main thrust is the research and development of in situ, non-invasive optical techniques to extract process information such as chemical species concentrations, temperature, pressure and mass flows.The research is directed towards specific application areas such as combustion systems, plasma processing, chemical vapour deposition, heterogeneous catalysis and environmental stack monitoring. One specific technique developed is based on novel diode Laser sensors giving rapid, high sensitivity and high specificity which can be combined with fibre optics for remote access. Optical integration into the process is also a major part of the research as well as chemical and spectroscopic modelling. Current research is involved in extending these optical techniques to industrial process tomography in collaboration with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
