As the centre manager, I have responsibility for technical infrastructure, ensuring that the facilities that we have are kept up to date, maintained and developed to best support our research needs. As well as providing first line support to users, I also provide expertise in scanner programming, data formats and data transfer.

In addition to looking after the technical infrastructure I also look after the buildings in which we work, both in the Medical School and on University Park. This covers everything from routine maintenance, to small and large building projects and refurbishments. I also lead the administrative functions of the centre. I have overall responsibility for the financial management of the SPMIC, administration of projects and cost recovery. I line manage the scanning, administrative and technical teams and run many of the computer systems and software platforms used to make the centre run smoothly.

As the Safety co-ordinator for the SPMIC I make sure that the work that we carry out is done safely and that we follow National and University policies. The aim is never to stop any work taking place but to work with researchers to find a way to do what they need to in a safe way. I’m also the biological safety officer for the SPMIC and for Physics. In my spare time I still have a keen interest in developing new hardware and software for MRI and MRS and am particularly keen to help new PhD students starting their MRI careers. With 30 years experience of MRI I am able to provide support to researchers across a wide range of areas and am always happy to work with our users to make sure that the SPMIC best meets their needs.

As a research radiographer (MRI), I help in day to day volunteer scanning, in setting up studies and advice on patient safety.

I provide administrative support for the SPMIC, alongside Louise Cowell and Mahbuba Amhed. My role focuses on taking minutes for meetings, ordering for the department, organising travel for staff and students, and processing scanning paperwork for the SPMIC, in addition to general administrative duties.

I’m an MRI physicist and researcher specialising in the development, optimisation, and clinical translation of advanced MRI protocols for whole-body and multi-organ imaging, including abdominal, cardiac, and musculoskeletal applications. My work focuses on quantitative, multi-parametric, and multi-nuclear MRI to assess tissue structure, function, and metabolism across the lifespan, including measurements of fat content, iron content, inflammation and fibrosis.

Based at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, I design, harmonise, and validate MRI protocols across Philips, Siemens, and GE platforms. This work bridges research and clinical imaging, ensuring advanced MRI methods are robust, reproducible, and suitable for real-world deployment in both healthcare.

While much of my research has focused on liver and metabolic disease, my expertise extends to MR elastography, spectroscopy, and whole-body MRI, enabling comprehensive, non-invasive assessment of organ health. I am particularly interested in the role of quantitative MRI in health screening and precision imaging for clinical interventions.

In addition to my research role, I am an MRI Scanner Operator with responsibility for participant and researcher safety across both Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre sites. I support imaging on Philips 3T, and 7T systems, a GE 3T system, and am working towards competency on Siemens Sola 1.5T scanners. I also train post-doctoral researchers and PhD students in MRI operation and protocol optimisation, ensuring high-quality, reproducible data acquisition while prioritising participant comfort and safety.

I am responsible for ensuring that all the equipment within the SPMIC is properly maintained and is operating within specifications, allowing researchers to undertake scanning safely and efficiently to produce the highest quality data. My role focuses on quality assurance of all scanners and ensuring that all researchers are optimally supported when using any SPMIC scanners and equipment, including audio/visual and fMRI acquisition equipment.

Interests: Using MRI on biomedical application and the biological effect of magnetic fields. 

I provide technical workshop expertise to the SPMIC. This includes design consultancy to assess the feasibility of ideas and provide workable solutions and using various machine tools in the SPMIC and Physics workshop, manufacturing these designs for use within the SPMIC's fields of research.

I provide support for the SPMIC centre for clinical research including research governance, infection control, hospital life support teaching. I also advise on and review Standard operating procedures, Risk assessments for MRI clinical trials and clinical equipment maintenance. My interests are respiratory medicine and early experimental research.
