Lawrence Carslake is a higher scientist at NPL specialising in electromagnetic metrology, quantum sensing, RF systems, and advanced antenna measurement.
Lawrence Carslake is a higher scientist at the UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL), specialising in electromagnetic metrology. His work focuses on advancing measurement techniques for next generation radio frequency and quantum enabled communication systems. His current research centres on Rydberg quantum sensing for electric field metrology, including the simulation, design, and experimental validation of quantum sensor technologies.
While at NPL, Lawrence’s research spans multiple areas within RF communications, including sub THz channel sounding, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and advanced antenna measurement techniques. He holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in communications and electronic engineering from the University of Sheffield, where he was awarded the Peter Hopkin Prize for final project excellence. He is currently undertaking his PhD with the University of Durham’s Quantum Light and Matter Group on “Rydberg quantum sensing technologies for metrology”, supervised by Prof. Kevin Weatherill.
Lawrence’s areas of interest include quantum enhanced measurement science, electromagnetic field metrology, RF system modelling, and the development of next generation standards and calibration techniques.
