About Me:
I make scientific instruments for cancer research.
I’ve worked on the mechanics, electronics and optics for multiphoton and fluorescence lifetime microscopes and on the reworking of a radiotherapy linac for cancer research.
I’m involved in research into a better way to deliver radiotherapy and I’m also involved in a study that uses a fluorescent marker, a bespoke imaging system and a robotic system for prostate surgery.
Some of our instruments end up in the operating theatre. Here I am with one of the surgeons

My research involves taking things apart — and then reusing the parts as well as designing new parts to make something that someday will help cure cancer.
