Personal profile
Research interests
Electromagnetic, magnetic & inductive sensing for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) & Healthcare Technology applications. Magnetic particle manipulation & low cost microfluidics.
For potential collaboration, postgraduate or postdoctorate opportunities, please contact [email protected].
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT):
Eddy-current testing (ECT) is an electromagnetic sensing NDT technique. Current research activities in this area include the development of novel technology and data-processing techniques for:
- Defect charcaterisation
- Carbon-fibre composite inspection
- Complex geometry inspection
- Eddy-current array sensors
Healthcare Technology:
Developing healthcare technology for point-of-care diagnosis, researching:
- Low-cost microfluidics & lab-on-a-chip technology
- Magnetic particle manipulation - used in bacterial labelling & trapping
- Inductive sensing of magnetic particles
