I studied Mathematics at Coventry University, where I first became interested in research during an industrial placement at Diamond Light Source. There, I developed a remote user interface for the I22 small-angle scattering beamline. After graduating, I worked in a biogas laboratory before completing a master’s degree in Medical Physics at the University of Surrey. […]
I am a Lecturer in Medical Imaging at the University of Exeter and am currently studying for a Doctorate in Clinical Research (DClinRes), with a focus on osteoporosis. There is growing evidence that fingernail composition may reflect bone density in females, suggesting that fingernails could potentially be used as a simple, non-invasive screening tool for […]
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Exeter, supervised by Prof Nick Stone, Prof Xujiong Ye and Dr Yanda Meng. Before starting my PhD, I completed an MSc in Applied Mathematics at Nankai University. My research focuses on developing artificial intelligence and deep learning methods for biomedical spectroscopic and hyperspectral […]
I was first introduced into the world of research at a metrology laboratory during my industrial placement year. Here I worked on a project that was investigating trace-level contaminants in recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) water bottles using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry. During my final year of my bachelor’s degree in chemistry […]
Initially obtaining a Batchelor’s degree in Physics with Astronomy from the University of Exeter in 2023 and deciding to stay on obtaining a Master’s degree in physics, Byron’s interest shifted from Astrophysics to Biophysics, initially to biomechanics with a Master’s project run on the measurement of the intradiscal pressure of modelled spinal segments and the […]
Diksha completed her PhD degree at Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD), India in 2023. Her doctoral research focused on the applications of optical spectroscopies, specifically terahertz spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, in the food industry. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, working with Prof. Nick Stone, at the University of […]
I am currently a research fellow in the Biomedical physics group working with Professor Nick Stone on the following EPSRC research grant: A Novel Deep Raman Spectroscopy Platform for Non-Invasive in vivo Diagnosis of Breast Cancer. This project aims to develop Raman spectroscopy as a non-invasive method for the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. […]
Professor of Biomedical Imaging and Biosensing PI Prof Nick Stone holds the position of Professor of Biomedical Imaging and Biosensing at the University of Exeter. Nick has worked to pioneer the field of novel optical diagnostics within the clinical environment, recently moving from the NHS (Gloucestershire Hospitals), after almost 20 years of working closely at […]
Associate Professor in Biomedical Spectroscopy PI My research is focused on the development of novel applications of vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR, Raman and Brillouin) to the biomedical sciences. I am particularly interested in the physical and chemical aspects of biological systems at a molecular level, as well their implications in health-related problems. Previously, I developed the […]
Megha attained her Bachelors in Chemistry(Honors) from University of Delhi, India and later completed her Masters in Forensic Science from University of Technology, Sydney. Due to her master’s research project on drug detection using Raman spectroscopy, she has developed interest in pursuing research using spectroscopy for her Ph.D. studies. Megha attained her PhD in nanoscience […]
