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.
Researchers develop a method for experimental verification of linear energy transfer in intensity-modulated proton therapy plans
The Oz technique stimulates individual photoreceptor cells on the retina to directly control their activation
THERYQ is developing a radiotherapy system that uses very high-energy electrons to treat deep-seated tumours, and can also enable FLASH treatments
A microscale brain sensor enables thought control of external devices, even during intense motion
Soft hydrogels can be moulded into a desired shape and then rapidly fixed into a high-strength version of that structure
Portable multiphoton microscopy system uses femtosecond laser pulses to create pathology-quality diagnostic images
Activation imaging using neutron-irradiated gold nanoparticles enables visualization of drug distribution in mice for several days after injection
Proton arc therapy offers a superior dose distribution compared with existing state-of-the-art proton delivery techniques
Treatment with a cold atmospheric plasma reduced the recurrence rate of melanoma tumours after surgery by roughly 50%
Titania nanoparticles damage enveloped viruses by directly binding with membrane phospholipids – a previously unknown mode of antiviral action
