Prof. David Delpy FRS

Professor Delpy is a recognized world expert in near-infra-red spectroscopy and neonatal monitoring. He leads the Biomedical Optics Research Group (BORG) within the Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering at University College, London (UCL). The research activities of the group, concern the development of new optical monitoring instruments and techniques for medical applications. For the last fifteen years the group has been highly successful in transferring the products of their research into routine physiological and clinical studies.

Dr Maureen Thorniley



Dr Thorniley is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Instrumentation and Analytical Science (DIAS), UMIST. Her research interests are in the development and uses of noninvasive optical techniques including near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) and surface fluorimetry (SF) to assess key metabolic parameters whose absorption or fluorescence properties are oxygen dependent. DIAS has an RAE rating of 5 and a well-established reputation in innovative medical instrument design and development as well as excellent links with industry. Maureen is also president of the International Society of Oxygen Transport to Tissues (ISOTT).
