About the Author
John Ion gained a First Class Honours degree in Metallurgy from Imperial College, London, in 1981,
followed by a PhD in Engineering Materials from the University of Luleå, Sweden, where his interest in
laser processing originated. He undertook postdoctoral research in the Engineering Department of the
University of Cambridge, UK, continuing work in the field of structure–property relationships in engi-
neering materials. He has worked in the laser processing groups of the aniszations: the
Centre for Industrial Research, Oslo, Norway (now SINTEF); Lappeenranta University of Technology,
Finland; The Welding Institute (TWI), Cambridge, UK; and monwealth Scientific and Indus-
trial anisation (CSIRO), Adelaide, Australia. Dr Ion has developed and taught university
courses, held industrial workshops, and presented and published research work internationally. He
holds the professional qualifications of European Engineer, Chartered Engineer (UK), and is a Fellow
