Istvan Gyongy received the M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Oxford, UK, in 2003 and 2008, respectively. Following a period in industry, where he worked on processors for smartphones and a cloud-connected activity tracking system for dairy farms, he joined the University of Edinburgh. His initial research at the University was on hydrodynamic modelling relating to the development of FloWave, the combined wave and current test facility. His research is now focused on the development of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) cameras and their application in a range of domains including LIDAR and the life sciences.
