Profile
I am an academic medical physicist who trained as a hospital medical physicist specialising in diagnostic imaging and radiation protection. I have communicated complex science and technology of imaging systems to a range of audience types, both as a lecturer and as a medical imaging company representative. My main area of expertise is interventional X-ray / angiography equipment; I have been an invited speaker and author on this topic in Europe, UK and USA.
Responsibilities
- Programme Lead, MSc Medical Imaging
- Lecturer on MSc Medical Imaging course
- Lecturer on BSc Diagnostic Radiology / Imaging courses
Research interests
Balance of radiation dose and image quality of X-ray imaging systems, with focus on size-specific optimisation for paediatric congenital heart patients and neonatal ICU X-ray imaging.
Image quality assessments for X-ray images of moving anatomy and devices, using psychophysics and other objective vs technical measurements.
Qualifications
- PhD Medicine (medical physics), University of Leeds
- MSc Medical Physics (IPEM accredited), University of Leeds
- BSc major in physics, University of Winnipeg, Canada
Student education
I teach under- and post- graduate medical and non-medical students about medical imaging and associated topics, bringing the perspectives of the hospital physicist and the imaging equipment manufacturer to the student learning experience.
Research groups and institutes
