Biography - Roger Appleby, QinetiQ, UK
 |
Roger Appleby received his BSc in Chemistry from Leicester University in 1974 and then his PhD titled “Vibrational Spectroscopy Under Pressure” in 1977. A Post Doctoral study on laser light scattering from solutions and liquid crystals was completed at the University of Queensland (Australia) from 1977 to 1979.
He then joined the UK MoD and carried out research into image intensifiers, thermal imagers and lasers. He currently leads the passive millimeter wave imaging team at QinetiQ Malvern UK. His team has pioneered the use of real time mechanically scanned passive millimeter wave imagers for security and poor weather surveillance. At 35GHz this technology has been used to scan PVC sided trucks at channel ports in Europe for the detection of illegal immigrants and was also used to construct a portal for imaging people in the indoor environment. At 94GHz it has been applied to standoff to security scanning and helicopter collision avoidance. He chaired a NATO panel TG14 on Passive and active millimeter wave imaging.
Dr Roger Appleby is a Senior QinetiQ Fellow and Member of the IEEE.
