'My Way Back Into Academia - The Photonics & Quantum Accelerator

Christopher has a strong passion for science and has always been attracted to research projects that have the potential for positive societal impact. He will provide insight into the entrepreneurial journey he took spinning out Chromacity, a manufacturer of ultrafast laser systems, which he co-founded back in 2013. Christopher is now returning to academia as Technology Exploitation Director of the Photonics and Quantum Accelerator programme. He will provide an overview of this programme and how it can fund and support your own high-impact research ideas.
