About Me
I am a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham. Prior to taking up this appointments, I was and RCUK Academic Fellow from 2007-2012 and a research fellow with Ela Claridge on the EPSRC project "Physics-based image interpretation to aid the detection of early signs of retinopathies". I was awarded my PhD in Theoretical Physics in 2003, from the Theoretical Physics group in Birmingham, where I was supervised by Martin Long.
Research
My main research interests are in the general area of medical image analysis and biomedical optics. I am particularly interested in model-based imaging techniques which use computational modelling of the imaging process to maximise the amount of information that an image yields. More details of this work can be found on my Research page.
I'm also involved in a new EPSRC-funded Doctoral Training Centre in the "Physical Sciences of Imaging in the Biomedical Sciences" - PSIBS. If you're a scientist or engineer who wants to do a PhD at the life sciences interface, then PSIBS could be for you - scholarships for four years of study are available to EU students!
