معرفی
David McGloin is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology Sydney, School of Electrical and Data Engineering, where he also serves as Director of Research Programs. He joined UTS in January 2018 after previously holding positions at the University of Dundee, where he was Head of Physics and Associate Dean for Research.
His educational background includes an undergraduate degree in Laser Physics and Optoelectronics and a PhD in Laser and Atomic Physics, both from the University of St Andrews. After his PhD, he worked at the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory before returning to St. Andrews for postdoctoral work.
Professor McGloin's research spans several interconnected areas in optical physics and biophotonics. His work focuses on:
- Optical manipulation of microscopic particles, especially aerosols
- Biophotonics and biomedical imaging applications
- Cell mechanics and microfluidic analysis of cellular properties
- Advanced imaging techniques including super resolution microscopy and optical coherence tomography
- Applications in cancer diagnosis, particularly for prostate and bladder cancer
His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward developing novel optical techniques with practical applications in biomedical engineering and aerosol science. Many of his recent papers focus on computational imaging approaches, 3D printed optical components, and the application of optical manipulation techniques to biological systems.
Professor McGloin has received significant research funding from organizations including the Royal Society, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Medical Research Council, and Natural Environment Research Council. His most notable early career achievement was being awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship.
He supervises HDR students and teaches graduate courses including Technology Research Preparation and Technology Research Methods at UTS. His laboratory work involves optical manipulation, biophotonics, and microfluidics research.
