Tian Long See

Technology Manager at THE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY CENTRE LIMITED

I am the technology manager at the laser processing group and responsible for the product development for the group. I have a background in laser surface processing specialise in surface manufacturing processes such as texturing, cleaning and polishing using a range of different lasers from CW to ultrashort pulsed with various wavelengths ranging from UV to IR. I am heavily involved in activity around laser surface texturing for functional surfaces/ surface engineering applications and am leading the activity within the MTC. In addition, I am also actively involved in collaborative R&D both nationally and on the EU level and manage and technically lead several large projects such as SHARK, PROMETHEUS, etc.
