Dr Janet Jones
(Chairman)

With over 30 years experience in academia, security and imaging, and research and development, Dr. Janet Jones brings a wealth of skills to bear as Managing Director of Astraguard. Having obtained her PhD at Cambridge University in 1971, she was later involved with one the earliest image processing groups developing automated image recognition and classification. From there she obtained a number of distinguished research positions in Europe and went on to found a company specialising in PC-based imaging in 1984. She has been involved with Astraguard − and the development of its technology − since the beginning.
