Daniel Lobb. Daniel Lobb (died 2019) was a designer of optical instruments and imaging spectrometers.

Education 
For his secondary education, Lobb attended Dorking Grammar School.

Lobb later attended Imperial College London and received a Bachelor of Science in Physics. He then received a Diploma of Imperial College in Optics.

Career 
Lobb worked at the United States Naval Research Laboratory, the Scientific Instrument Research Association, and Surrey Satellite Technology; designing instruments for the European Space Agency and NASA. During his career, Lobb designed laser projector-based flight simulators, optical instruments for satellites, imaging spectrometers for satellites, imaging spectrometers to measure environmental properties (such as water quality and air pollution), and a complex field splitter for James Webb Space Telescope. In 2012, Lobb received an award from the Royal Aeronautical Society for "specialist contributions in aerospace."
