Sandy Cochran, Professor of Biophysical Science and Engineering, holds a BSc in Electronics (1986), a PhD (1990) in ultrasonic array design and application, and an MBA (2001) all from the University of Strathclyde. At Strathclyde, he worked in the Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering, Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (1986 – 9, 1996 – 2000), and in the Superconducting Devices Research Group, Department of Physics (1990 – 95), holding a BP / Royal Society of Edinburgh Fellowship in Physics (1993 - 95). From Strathclyde, he moved to the University of the West of Scotland (2000 – 7) with an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship where he set up a research group in Microscale Sensors, with colleagues. In 2007, he moved to IMSaT, University of Dundee as a Team Leader in Medical Ultrasound. In 2015, he moved to the University of Glasgow.
