Robert K. Henderson is a Professor of Electronic Imaging in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.
He joined University of Edinburgh in 2005, designing the first SPAD image sensors in nanometer CMOS technologies in the MegaFrame and SPADnet EU projects.
This research activity led to volume SPAD time-of-flight products in STMicroelectronics FlightSense series, which perform an autofocus-assist function in more than 150 different smartphone models, recently passing the 1 billion-module milestone. He benefits from a long-term research partnership with STMicroelectronics in which he explores medical, scientific and high-speed imaging applications of SPAD technology.
In 2014, he was awarded a prestigious ERC Advanced Fellowship. Since 2018, he is an advisor to Sense Photonics in automotive LIDAR and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
