Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Chemistry, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Section. My first degree and PhD were from the Department of Chemistry at UMIST. On completion of my PhD I took up a post-doc with Prof John Vickerman to develop a new imaging ToF-SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry) instrument for surface chemical analysis. Further development work and biological applications of ToF-SIMS were pursued through a Leverhulme Special Research Fellowship. I joined the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science on the creation of the new University of Manchester in 2004, being promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2008. In September 2011 I took up my current appointment.
My research group is based in the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre and currently consists of 5 PhD students.
