Kunal Vyas's past jobs
Responsibilities include: - Evaluating new technologies - Overseeing research projects and external research collaborations - Product direction - Developing the company's IP portfolio
I founded Techlancing Ltd to help clients develop innovative products that will shape a better future. I believe that physics is at the heart of technology development and the key to successful innovation. A physics-based perspective can sometimes unlock truly disruptive paradigm shifts and can always reduce the cost of innovation and increase the chances of success: - Quickly rule out technologies and ideas that will never work, thereby saving wasted effort - Identify areas on which to focus innovation, for example, where current performance is less than what is allowed by physics - Compliment your multidisciplinary teams with in-depth technical analysis and problem-solving. This can accelerate development and also ensure the benefits of your innovation are maintained through to the embodiment
- Supporting the product development team in understanding the science behind the engineering and helping to inform design decisions and performance criteria - Managing the company's IP portfolio including prosecution of new patents and rationalisation based on both the technical merits of the IP and commercial priorities of the company - Tech scouting: looking out for technologies that can enhance Lightpoint's products and offerings, occasionally carrying out systematic searches - Supporting clinical sites and research collaborators when required - Attending conferences and writing papers to maintain/enhance Lightpoints profile
My role was to help develop disruptive technologies and next-generation products for clients and encompassed technical and commercial activities. This included: - Solving challenging physics-based problems theoretically and in the lab - Innovating to generate and develop new concepts - Technical leadership - Client and project management - Writing proposals and supporting the sales process - Actively following quality processes and medical development standards when applicable
Physics undergraduate lab sessions supervised included measuring the wavelength of atomic emission lines, the gravitation constant, diffraction and interference of light, mode hopping of a laser and the attenuation of ionising radiation.
This weekend job was focused on visitor interaction and included the gift shop, ticketing desks, running space theater shows, hosting school visits, staging interactive debates and answering science based questions. I was given the opportunity to develop new educational material such as visitor trails when I was promoted to Galleries Coordinator.
