Having completed its second series A funding round at the end of 2022, Living Optics, a spin-out from the Department of Physics has just established new offices in order to accommodate the company’s rapidly growing workforce.
Living Optics’ mission is to make hyperspectral imagery accessible to everybody – providing industry with better data to make more informed decisions. Their cameras capture information inaccessible to the human eye and conventional cameras; their machines are more accurate and autonomous than were previously available as well as simple and affordable. Living Optics technology can be applied to myriad industries from agriculture and food quality where hyperspectral imagery can help detect disease and contamination to remote sensing where the cameras can aid gas and emissions detection or determine soil health.
Living Optics was founded by Professor Peter Norreys with his current and former doctoral students, Robin Wang and Dr Muhammad Kasim as well as Zackary Yerushalmi from Oxford Science Enterprises. Robin, as CEO, has spearheaded the company’s growth since its foundation in 2020 and Living Optics secured more than £20 million from investors in its latest funding round.
To accommodate its growing workforce, Living Optics has just moved from its original offices with Oxford Science Enterprises to the Milton Park Science and Technology Park.
‘This move is a major milestone for our company,’ comments Professor Norreys. ‘It will facilitate our plans for future development and product launches and we are incredibly excited to see what the future holds.’
