Dr Kieran Wiseman

Background

Kieran graduated from the University of Surrey in 2017 with a Master’s in Physics, including a year-long research placement. He joined Cranfield University as a full-time PhD student, completing his doctorate in April 2022. Currently, Kieran is a Research Fellow in the Centre for Engineering Photonics within the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Since joining Cranfield, he has presented his work at SPIE Optical Metrology conferences (2019 and 2023) in Munich, delivered a session keynote at euspen’s 20th International Conference, and presented virtually at Photon 2020, with additional conferences planned for the future.

Research opportunities

- Wavelength stabilisation of widely modulated lasers for dimensional metrology.

- Applications of interferometry for dimensional metrology

- Development of fibre-optic sensors for novel applications

- Optical methods for liquid hydrogen sensing

Current activities

Kieran is actively engaged in developing novel techniques for wavelength stabilisation of widely modulated lasers, targeting applications in high-precision dimensional metrology. He is also exploring innovative uses for a cutting-edge interferometric measurement technique developed at Cranfield. Additionally, Kieran is investigating optical methods for liquid hydrogen sensing, with impactful applications in aviation, automotive industries, and clean energy production. He is further involved in developing fibre-optic sensors for novel applications across a range of industries. As a contributor to the hydrogen theme within the UK Aerospace Research Consortium (UK-ARC), Kieran supports collaborative efforts driving the development of hydrogen technologies in the aerospace sector.
