Colin Harrison is the Medical Device IT Integration Manager, B.Braun Medical UK Ltd. Following an undergraduate degree in Physics, which included a year-long industrial placement working on the VULCAN Laser (at the time the worlds second most powerful Laser), Colin successfully submitted an M.Phil Thesis to Sheffield University on the design of Semiconductor devices, and published a number of papers on the subject whilst working at the EPSRC funded Semiconductor Central Reseach Centre. He then left the field of research and joined the US semiconductor device characterisation company Nanometrics, as an Applications Specialist, working in customer device fabrication laboratories primarily in Silicon Valley, US, and Japan.
Colin left that industry and joined B.Braun Medical 10 years ago as a Technical Specialist for the UK infusion pump business, and was subsequently Technical Product Manager, with overall responsibility for every technical aspect of the UK infusion device business. In the last few years, his role has developed in-line with industry development & requirements for IT connectivity, and he is now in the role of Medical Devices IT Integration Manager dealing solely with the IT functionality & integration of Medical Devices.
