Dr. Eric Chandler has joined Halma plc subsidiary Ocean Thin Films as an electro-optical scientist focused on multispectral imaging and sensing applications. He will provide technical support to OEM sensing and imaging product customers using PixelTec multispectral subsystems. The proprietary technology enables micron-scale patterning of multiple thin-film optical coatings on a single substrate, providing compact devices for defense, medical and industrial applications. Chandler graduated from the applied physics doctoral program at the Colorado School of Mines, where his research efforts focused on nonlinear optical characterization of silicon nanostructured materials for bioimaging and photovoltaic applications.
