Kayden Parish is a PhD researcher in optics at Loughborough University under the supervision of Professor Jeremy Coupland. He holds a BSc in Theoretical Physics from Lancaster University, where he developed a strong foundation in mathematical methods, wave physics, and computational analysis. His academic training combines rigorous theoretical modelling with experimental measurement and data analysis.
His doctoral research focuses on optical measurement and scattering phenomena, with particular interest in understanding how light–matter interactions can be exploited for surface characterisation and precision metrology. His work sits at the intersection of theory, experiment, and computation, contributing to the development of robust optical sensing and analysis techniques.
