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 […]

Overview My research interests are to develop novel approaches for clinical diagnosis and prognosis of cancers (breast, colon, oesophagus, head and neck, skin) and other molecular diseases (Alzheimer’s disease). For this, I am working at the forefront of cross disciplines by combining novel spectroscopic, molecular imaging technologies and machine learning approaches (conventional and High Power […]

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 […]

Hao obtained his master degree of photonics at the University of Jena in Germany in 2021. He worked on a research project of high-pressure Raman gas spectroscopy in Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in Jena. Now Hao joined the BioSpec team as a PhD student from April under the supervision of Prof. Francesca Palombo and […]

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 […]

Dr Suzy Eldershaw has a background in biomedical research as well as project management experience. Her previous post-doctoral work focused on reconstitution of Natural Killer and T cells following autologous stem cell transplantation for conditions such as Myeloma and Lymphoma. Suzy is the manager of the EPSRC RaNT programme. Contact Website: http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/physics-astronomy/staff/sae213

I am a research fellow in the Biomedical Spectroscopy Team in the Biophysics Group working with Prof Nick Stone at The University of Exeter. My current work on the is on the Raman needle project which is seeking to diagnose lymphomas with a fibre-optic needle on the “DOLPHIN-VIVO: Diagnosis Of LymPHoma IN VIVO” project. I […]
