Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJon Collins is a research scientist based in Greater Glasgow with 10 years' experience designing, fabricating and characterizing superconducting devices, particularly large-scale Josephson junction systems aimed at industrial repeatability. At the University of Glasgow he progressed from PhD work on scalable junction arrays and photon-detector readout schemes to postdoctoral and research assistant roles, blending hands-on cleanroom fabrication with low-temperature device testing and characterization. His background spans computational physics (KKR band-theory work, C++ simulations of black-hole collisions) and practical avionics maintenance from earlier service in the British Army, giving him a rare combination of theoretical, simulation and field-tested hardware skills. Colleagues rely on him for turning demanding device concepts into reproducible processes and measurements that bridge academia and application.
