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 reveal how radiation therapy alters the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment
Proton beams focused with magnets could deliver radiosurgery with fewer beams, lower entrance dose and shorter treatment times
An improved biological washout model could increase the accuracy of PET-based particle therapy verification
The National Physical Laboratory is getting prepared to support the UK's forthcoming high-energy proton therapy facilities
A round-up of the latest international patent applications in medical imaging
A wearable MEG scanner can record brain activity while a subject is moving
Analysing foetal heart rate variability separately during contractions and rest periods improves detection of foetal distress during labour
Texture analysis of CT images can determine whether a lung cancer patient is fit enough to undergo radiotherapy
When will we see the next disruptive innovation in X-ray imaging? And could it be inspired by emerging photonic technologies?
