Ashkan Roozbeh

Microscopy & Spectroscopy Specialist (R&D, Photonics Researcher) Experienced in designing advanced optical systems and commercializing multiple products across biotech, nanotech, and life sciences sectors. I have over a decade of experience in developing advanced photonics systems, with a strong foundation in physics and optics. My work spans academic and industrial environments, with a focus on building spectroscopy and microscopy platforms. Extensive background in microscopy and spectroscopy system design, including Raman, fluorescence, UV-Vis, infrared (FTIR and ATR), THz, time-resolved absorption, and single-molecule microscopy. Proven track record in building and optimizing coherent multidimensional spectroscopy setups, optical tweezers, and custom Raman instruments. Hands-on experience with a wide range of ultrafast (fs/ps) and CW laser systems, including DPSS, OPA, NOPA, and OPO setups for advanced spectroscopic applications. Deep understanding of detector technologies such as CMOS, CCD, and InGaAs, and their integration in high-sensitivity measurement systems. Experience developing LCOS-based optical systems and contributing to AR/VR applications. Commercialized multiple products from concept to delivery, including mass photometry and optical trapping microscopes. Programming and simulation skills in Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, Zemax, and Solidworks, with a focus on automation, optical modeling, and system control. Experienced team leader and project driver, managing engineers and technicians, coordinating across departments, and aligning technical innovation with product goals. Comfortable bridging the gap between technical detail and broader business needs, with experience in startups, SMEs, and global research environments. I’m always open to conversations around photonics innovation, advanced imaging, and roles where optics, data, and product development intersect.
