Profile Summary

As a senior lecturer in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kent, I am involved in a variety of academic activities such as teaching, research, and academic services. Specifically, I am a member of the Applied Optics Group, where I am actively engaged in developing novel imaging techniques for applications in the fields of biosciences and medicine. My research is focused on three main areas:

1. Optical Coherence Tomography: This is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light to generate detailed images of biological tissues. Through my research, I aim to develop advanced imaging techniques that can provide high-resolution images of biological tissues with improved depth penetration and image contrast.

2. Elastography: This is a technique that measures the mechanical properties of tissues by applying mechanical stress and measuring the resulting deformation. I am working on developing advanced elastography techniques that can provide quantitative measurements of tissue stiffness, which can be used for the diagnosis of various diseases.

3. Photoacoustics: This is a technique that combines optical and acoustic imaging to generate high-resolution images of tissues. Through my research, I aim to develop advanced photoacoustic techniques that can provide images with improved spatial resolution and contrast.
