Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Maclean is an optical engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience developing laser systems from PhD research to commercial products, specializing in fibre-optic technologies, nonlinear conversion and robust, manufacturable designs. He blends deep academic insight into semiconductor and bulk lasers with practical product delivery at companies like Coherent and HORIBA, taking prototypes through to cost-effective production while collaborating across mechanics, electronics and software. His PhD work on power scaling of optically pumped semiconductor disk lasers and demonstrable experience with low-cost pump sources reflect a knack for translating novel concepts into pragmatic, budget-minded solutions. Comfortable working in startups and established firms, he’s known for inventive problem solving—whether splicing extremely short fibres, fault finding electronics, or devising clever illumination methods for fuel-cell catalysts. Based in the Greater Glasgow area, he leverages a multidisciplinary background (MEng and Diplôme d’Ingénieur) to deliver systems-level thinking that anticipates manufacturing and field constraints.
