My research interest is in the application of advanced imaging techniques and radiotherapy treatment modalities to improve outcomes for patients with CNS tumours. I have a specific interest in MR imaging of CNS tumours and Intensity-modulated radiotherapy. In addition to this work, I am involved in multi-scalar mathematical modelling of CNS tumours.
