I am an online editor for Physics World. I write and commission articles for the medical physics, and biophysics and bioengineering sections of the website. I did a PhD in molecular physics at Leeds University, followed by a postdoc in the medical physics department. I joined IOP Publishing in 1999, and in 2008 I became editor of the website medicalphysicsweb. Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, as well as singing and dancing in musical theatre productions.

LAP’s laser systems are a core enabling technology for accurate, repeatable patient positioning in the imaging suite and on the treatment couch
A cost-effective method for high-throughput production of spheroids could prove indispensable for tissue engineering applications
Photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers emit high-quality beams with high output power and narrow divergence
The THALES 3D MR SCANNER from LAP has been developed specifically to support the commissioning and quality assurance of MR-guided radiotherapy machines
Detecting the prompt gamma photons emitted by many PET isotopes enables quantitative, high-resolution imaging of isotopes with large positron ranges
This year's Photonics West will use digital technology to engage attendees with live and on-demand presentations, as well as online networking events and a virtual industry marketplace
A de-noising model enables significant reduction of radiotracer dose in cardiac PET scans without lowering diagnostic accuracy
Perovskites 3D printed on graphene create a highly efficient X-ray detector that could considerably improve the performance of medical imaging devices
Positron-emitting radionuclides play an essential role within diagnostic imaging, but positrons could also be used to destroy cancer cells
