Personal Profile
Chris M. Mann was born in London, UK, in 1962. He received a B.Sc. degree (honours) from Coventry (Lanchester) Polytechnic, UK, in 1985,and a Ph.D. degree from the University of London, UK, in 1992.
From 1985 to 1992, he was an Associate Researcher at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), Oxfordshire, UK, where he worked on numerous aspects of millimetre-wave technology, including: superconductor/insulator/superconductor (SIS) junction fabrication, space hardware, and a novel 183-GHz sub-harmonic mixer. In 1992, he joined the Photodynamics Research Center, Sendai, Japan, where he was involved with the design of corner-cube mixers at 1.4 THz and the use of analytical models for the prediction of waveguide-circuit embedding impedance. In 1994, he returned to RAL, playing a leading role in the design, fabrication, and testing of the world's first 2.5-THz waveguide mixer in 1995. He has since continued this work, and is also working on the optimisation of sub-millimetre-wave frequency multipliers and sub-harmonic mixers and is currently pioneering waveguide micro-machining techniques in order to realise completely integrated sub-millimetre-wave RF front-ends.
Since January 2000 he has taken a part time position of
Chief Engineer at
Flann
Microwave Instruments Limited, Bodmin, England. At Flann he is
actively involved in the transferral of terahertz technology into the market
place. Flann have released Chris for the duration of the
programme.
