My research has focused on the accuracy and precision of radiotherapy. This involves investigations into each stage of the planning and delivery process and even extended to clinical trial design. My work looking at the uncertainty in target and healthy tissue delineation uncertainties. My PhD studies led me to the design of clinical trials for radiotherapy. Specifically, ways to assess different contributing uncertainties and robust methods to account for these. I was also co-inventor of a medical device named The HexaCheck which has been licenced to the US based Standard Imaging Inc
I have a strong commitment to student supervision and mentoring junior researchers.
