Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Gill-fleming is a Durham-based postdoctoral researcher with a decade of experience applying advanced optical imaging techniques to the Terahertz, Microwave and RF bands, including THz-to-optical conversion using excited Caesium for high-speed imaging. He holds a PhD in Physics and bridges fundamental quantum optics research with hands-on instrumentation work across the Quantum Light and Matter group and the Center for Advanced Instrumentation. Prior roles include engineering-focused software development—migrating .NET biobanking platforms to cloud-native deployments—and open-source backend contributions to the popular XChange Java library, where he implemented exchange adapters and trading services. Comfortable moving between lab, codebase and cloud, he combines experimental superconducting detector work (MKIDs) with practical software engineering to deliver reproducible, deployable systems.
