Personnel Profile

Alex Stanco, Managing Director
Completed B.Sc in 1970, with majors in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. Member of the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers and American Society for Photobiology, inventor cited on two patents. Alex founded the Lastek Group of Companies in June 1988, and was previously Chief Executive of the Quentron Group of Companies. A prime force in the laser research market and high technology industry since 1970, Alex continues to lead the development of the Lastek Group as a leading marketer and custom manufacturer of photonics based research instruments and systems.

Stuart Rumble, Ph.D., Spectroscopist:
Sales and Service Spectrometers, Cameras, Detection systems
Based in Melbourne, Stuart joined Lastek in 1999.He brings a wealth of experience in the sales and service of spectroscopic systems to Lastek. Formerly with Rofin, Stuart is primarily reponsible for the Jobin-Yvon range of Fluorescence, UV and Raman Spectroscopy systems.

Dr Anthony Quinn
Anthony has spent the past four years undertaking post-doctoral research with an emphasis on nanobiotechnology. He has many years experience utilizing surface probe microscopes and optically based research techniques including, SPR, ellipsometry and fluorescence for research applications.

He joined Lastek in July 2007 and will be primarily responsible for biophotonic instrument applications, including systems from Horiba Jobin Yvon (HJY) , Nanofilm, Nanonics, Lynceetec, Picoquant and LaVision Biotec


Matthew Campbell
My background is in the Life Sciences where I attained my B.Sc at Flinders University majoring in Human Physiology. I then completed my Honours under the supervision of Professor Marcello Costa in the field of Neuroscience. After working in research for some time at Flinders Medical centre and the Royal Adelaide Hospital I made the transition to scientific sales. Most relevantly I managed Coherent Scientifics Life Science Division for several years and more recently have been working with Crown Scientific.

Jonathan Bowen, Physicist:
Sales & Marketing: Motion control, photonics, optics, tables and components
Jon is responsible for products from Melles Griot, Aerotech, Discovery Semiconductor, Oriel and more. His portfolio includes nanopositioning equipment, fibre-optic components, optical tables, detectors and optics. Call Jon to discuss your precision motion or fibre-optics application.

Ray Simonovic, Service Engineer
Ray Simonovic is one of the most experienced laser service engineers in Australasia. He was the senior service engineer at Quentron between 1979 and 1987, responsible for service of Spectra-Physics scientific and medical laser systems. In 1994 Ray designed a laser software and hardware interface and started a lightshow company called Razerlaser. Ray joined Lastek Laboratories in 1997 to assist with the production and QA of Lastek's linear CCD camera products. Ray also services many lasers as well as analogue and digital electronic systems.

Mark Aizengendler, Staff Physicist: R & D
Completed PhD in 1992, Tartu University, Estonia; Research specialty spectral hole burning in crystals and laser spectroscopy. Has over 20 original publications in this field and is the inventor cited on one US patent. Joined Lastek in 1993 and heads the development of spectrometer based systems for laboratory and field spectro radiometry, as well as spectroscopic acquisition and analysis software for laboratory and field use.

Dr Zhen Fang Gong,Spectroscopy Service Engineer
Zhen is a physics graduate of Nanjing Normal University, an MSc from the Plasma Physics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a PhD at the University of SA. He has extensive industry experience in spectroscopy in both Australia and China.

Andrew Gibson-White
Laser Service Engineer
Andrew completed his BSc in Physics and Aviation at University of Newcastle.

The lumen is the luminous flux emitted into a solid angle of 1 steradian from a source which has an intensity of 1 candela. In other words, 1 candela = 1 lumen/steradian.
The lumen is a weighted value of watts. The luminous flux of a source is calculated by integrating the product of the spectral flux (power per unit wavlength band) and the CIE V-lambda curve. The integrated value, or area under the curve represents the total lumens from this source.
