Dr Alan Reynolds joined ETCbrunel in 1979, after working in the medical and healthcare industries. In the capacity of Deputy Director he acts as the Centre’s Quality Manager, responsible for accreditation and calibration to maintain the high standards of analysis. Dr Reynolds is a consultant to industry worldwide on the application and interpretation of data from electron microscopy, light microscopy and X-ray microprobe techniques, with special reference to environmental pollution and asbestos identification and quantification. Dr Reynolds also lectures in the Centre for Environmental Research, and has given invited lectures for government, academia and industry. Alan’s research projects include microfibril orientation in commercially important softwood trees (in collaboration with Napier University) and metal uptake by biological tissue. The latter area includes iron accumulation in the tissue of the Giant Panda, and lead accumulation in the grass Agrostis tenuis – with applications in lead mine remediation. |
