Biography
Susan is part of NPL’s Quantum Information Processing Group and is currently undertaking research on Superconducting Readout Electronics for Infrared Single Photon Imaging, leading to a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Glasgow. Her work is funded by NPL and Quantic, through the EPSRC.
Susan has a bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering, followed by a Masters in Advanced Telecommunications and Wireless Engineering. She joined NPL’s Electromagnetic Technologies Group in 2018, and her work included experimental measurements at millimetre-wave frequencies using waveguide systems operating from 50 GHz to 750 GHz, to benchmark the primary UK standards of waveguides operating at these frequencies.
She has contributed to several national and international scientific research projects, funded by both the UK Government and international funding bodies.
