Dr. John Pike is a Principal Research Consultant at the Materials Technologies Corporation. He has been involved in the research, application, and development in applied optical physics, with emphasis on the problems of characterization of new materials and in the innovation of optical sensing and measurement instrumentation. Dr. Pike has deftly combined continuing developments in modern low-cost optoelectronic components with time-tested measurement methods of "classical" physics. This combination has led to highly reliable, rugged yet sensitive, "hybrid" sensing devices and methods. His strength lies in developing, testing, and recommending reliable, simple, economical optical solutions to practical problems.
