Professor Tony Peyton

Professor of Electromagnetic Tomography Engineering University of Manchester

Tony Peyton graduated from Manchester in Electrical Engineering and Electronics (1983) and gained a Ph.D. in medical instrumentation (1986). After various positions in the scientific instrumentation industry and academia, became Professor in Electromagnetic Engineering at Manchester, May 2004. Tony has over 30 years of experience in a diverse range of electromagnetic sensor systems and has been Principal Investigator of numerous national, international and industry funded projects and co-author of 180 international journal papers. His group work extensively with industry, taking electromagnetic sensors from fundamental research in the laboratory through to final applications in a range of real world settings, from detecting meteorites in the Antarctic, to steel mills globally and nuclear reactors in the UK. The research is focussed on the needs of end-user partners, in sectors including non-destructive testing, security, medical, food quality and humanitarian demining. All these areas of application are underpinned by the common theme of electromagnetics. my details below.
