Robert Marchington is a Research Fellow in Biophotonics at the
University of St Andrews, Scotland.
Rob's research interests include optical manipulation of cells within microfluidic chips, for applications in optical injection (photoporation), Raman spectroscopy, optical trapping and optical sorting.
Rob has a BSc in Physics from Imperial College London, an MSc in Photonics & Optoelectronic devices from Heriot Watt and St Andrews, and obtained his PhD in Kishan Dholakia's Biophotonics group at the University of St Andrews.
