New general manager at Oxford Instruments WITec in Ulm
The next era has begun at Oxford Instruments WITec, where Dr. Benjamin Tordoff is leading the Raman imaging microscopy pioneers after taking over from the company's founders.
Dr. Benjamin Tordoff joined Oxford Instruments WITec this summer, though the company and its exceptional technology that delivers speed, sensitivity, and resolution through fundamentally innovative design, have long been of interest to him. He previously worked with WITec while at ZEISS, primarily on correlative microscopy topics mainly related to RISE Microscopy.
Dr. Tordoff trained as a physicist, when his PhD work focused on collinear laser spectroscopy using Ti:Sa and CW dye lasers. As he related, “My whole career has been devoted to leading-edge scientific instrumentation, starting in R&D, then project management and product management. It’s exhilarating to have this chance to plot the course ahead for Raman imaging at the place where the technology was first commercialized.”
As the new General Manager, he will continue the company’s focus on customer-driven development and utilize the benefits that being part of Oxford Instruments brings. While working towards new markets and applications, he will ensure that Oxford Instruments WITec continues to serve its core market of high-end academic research and fundamental science.
