Gaiacode's small team of dedicated professionals in the field of seismic instrumentation is ever expanding. Beginning this month, Murray McGowan has joined the company as the Head of Digital Products.

Murray, a Scotsman, has been an integral part of our industry for more than two decades. He started his working life on a Royal Navy base in Scotland in electronics. After completing a post-graduate Masters Degree from Imperial College in London in Computing Science in 1996,  he joined a seismic instrumentation company. There he developed and coded a well respected seismic acquisition and control software and worked on the development and implementation of digitizers and their soft- and firmware for use in seismometry. For more than a decade, he was responsible for operating a seismic network in Scotland, which is the UK's contribution to the International Monitoring System of the Comprehensive Testban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) in Vienna.

At Gaiacode Murray will be supervising and playing an active role in further developing the digital side of our business. We welcome Murray McGowan as the latest addition to our team.
