Graham Bruce is a Senior Research Laboratory Manager at the University of St Andrews working in optics and photonics, with a focus on developing practical light-based measurement tools that can operate in complex or constrained environments.
A common thread in his work is overcoming barriers, whether measuring through containers and scattering media, designing low-cost instruments for use beyond specialist laboratories, or building photonics capability through international partnerships. His work spans applications including heritage science, food authentication, security, environmental sensing and biomedical imaging.
He has a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration and public engagement, and in working with partners across academia, industry and policy. He is committed to widening participation in science through outreach, mentoring, and co-creating accessible instruments, practices and narratives around science.
