Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaurence Stant is a Senior Diagnostics Engineer with 11 years’ experience designing RF and beam instrumentation systems for large-scale facilities including Diamond Light Source and CERN, backed by a PhD in microwave metrology. He combines hands-on electronic, mechanical and software skills—spanning MicroTCA, VME, PLCs and LabVIEW—with a track record of building low-noise RF frontends and real-time microwave feedback to keep high-availability beamlines running. Versatile and creative, Laurence has a history of pragmatic prototyping (from pocket satellites to humidity cells) and contributes front-end UI improvements to notable open-source projects like the Node-RED dashboard. Comfortable in both research and operational contexts, he embraces AI copilots to accelerate delivery while pursuing hands-on hobbies such as amateur rocketry and restoring railway signalling, which reflect his penchant for complex control systems.
