Biography
David Hendry graduated with a 1st class degree in Natural Philosophy in 1975. This was followed by an MSc in Natural Philosophy in 1976 and then a PhD in 1979 from the University of Aberdeen. The research topic was the application of the APW (Augmented Plane Wave method) to the calculation of the electron band structures in the solid KCl and SnTe using a relativistic formulation.
From 1979 until 1986 I worked on various aspects of computing systems, including microcomputer systems and database systems for the University Computer Center. I moved to the then Department of Engineering in 1986.
My research group in Engineering has historically worked on various aspects of digital systems, including CAD tools for VLSI, and applications of VLSI to hardware implementation of neural networks. This has included the design of a 256 neuron device for applications in image processing and for virtual sensors within the automotive industry. That work was carried in collaboration with AXEON Ltd. Subsequent work on on low power designs for neural networks, and algorithms that reduced power dissipation is continuting.
I am also involved with optoelectronics, particularly lasers and their instrumentation applications including their use in digital holography. Major work items are now the application of reconfigurable logic to aspects of digital holography and the application of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) underwater.
