Stuart Ingleby

Dr. Stuart Ingleby is a Senior Lecturer and Chancellor’s Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde, Faculty of Science. His research focuses on the development of portable, high-sensitivity optical magnetometers for practical applications in medicine, navigation, and environmental monitoring.

His research interests include:

• Quantum-enabled magnetic sensors
• Compact atomic and optical systems
• Real-time data acquisition and processing
• Low-noise precision electronics for sensor interfaces

His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in advancing optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) for field deployment, with applications ranging from GNSS-denied navigation to space weather monitoring and biomedical imaging. The work emphasizes miniaturization, enhanced sensitivity, and robust hardware-software integration.

Scientific awards received:

• University of Strathclyde Chancellor's Fellowship (2021)

Dr. Ingleby leads and co-investigates multiple research projects funded by EPSRC, UK Space Agency, and industry partners such as AWE plc. He is actively involved in the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Sensing, Imaging and Timing (QuSIT), contributing to quantum-enabled positioning and navigation systems. He mentors PhD students and collaborates extensively within interdisciplinary teams. His work includes both theoretical modeling and experimental development of atomic sensors.

He is a peer reviewer for journals including Optics Express, Advanced Optical Technologies, and European Physical Journal Quantum Technology, reflecting his standing in the quantum sensing community.
