Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKieran Larkin is a seasoned researcher and engineer with over 30 years of deep expertise in optics, Fourier-based image processing, interferometry and precision metrology, and a decade-plus focus on algorithmic troubleshooting for signal and image systems. Based in Sydney, he blends academic rigor (PhD in Physics) and practial engineering from roles at CSIRO, university labs and industry, to devise robust phase-retrieval, fringe-analysis and Fourier-optical solutions that address subtle performance and efficiency bottlenecks. He has led technical themes as a distinguished engineer, taught advanced Fourier optics, and published inventive approaches to high-angular-resolution phase imaging used in astronomical and metrology contexts. As an independent researcher and consultant he hunts arcane cross-over problems where harmonic analysis and analytic number theory meet practical imaging, seeking collaborations and industrial contracts. Recently reinventing himself as a self-employed thinker/writer, he continues to explore the “outer reaches of Fourier space” while translating that uncommon theoretical depth into pragmatic software and systems fixes. An uncommon mix of hands-on instrument design, deep mathematical insight and long-term curiosity makes him a go-to for problems others label intractable.
