I am Head of Sensor Technology at Geotek, developing a range of sensors for core analysis for research and the oil & gas industry.

I was a Zeiss Applications Fellow in the Henry Moseley X-ray Imaging Facility at the University of Manchester. I also held a sabbatical position as an Impact Acceleration Fellow at the Research Complex at Harwell.My research was focused on developing novel 4-D applications of nano-scale x-ray tomography (nano CT) across a range of disciplines. A key focus is the development and deployment of a novel load stage to enable micro-mechanical tests to be performed during scanning.

I also developed novel image processing algorithms to extract robust quantitative measures from noisy 3-D data sets. Show less

Research associate in high resolution x-ray tomography at the Henry Moseley X-ray Facility.My role involved both technique development as well as exploiting novel application of high resolution x-ray tomography. Technique development focussed on the optimization of propagation based phase contrast, including phase retrieval. I developed novel applications of these techniques in the areas of biomedicine, energy materials, engineering and palaeontology.
