Edinburgh Instruments Limited (Livingston, West Lothian, UK) has appointed Derek Shepherd as Chairman.
Shepherd spent more than 25 years with Aggreko (Glasgow, Scotland), where, as executive director, he oversaw expansion across Central and South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
“Derek Shepherd is a proven leader who has demonstrated his value to the energy and construction industries,” said Alan Faichney, chief executive officer of Edinburgh Instruments.
Shepherd, who holds an honorary doctorate in engineering from Heriot Watt University (Edinburgh, Scotland), is chairman and founder director of University of Edinburgh spin-out company NGenTech Limited (Edinburgh, Scotland), which developed a permanent magnet generator for wind turbines.

An upcoming interview with Ji-Xin Cheng, a Theodore Moustakas Distinguished Professor in Photonics and Optoelectronics at Boston University, will highlight his ongoing work in coherent Raman scattering microscopy.
The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
