Personal profile
Overview
I am currently a post-doctoral research associate in the Centre for Imaging Sciences
Biography
I joined the University of Manchester in January 2006 to start a PhD with Dr Sue Astley in what was then called ISBE. I completed my PhD (Statistical Models for Synthesising the Appearance of Mammographic Masses) in May 2010 and have remained a post-doc in department ever since. We are now Imaging Sciences, located within the Institute of Population Health. Since July 2011 I have been working in the field of nailfold capillaroscopy.
Teaching
Semester 1: Matlab Tutorial Course
This is an ungraded but mandatory 6 week course for students on the Medical Imaging MSc. Subject to available computers in PC Cluster 3, Stopford Building the course is welcome to anyone else that would like an introduction to Matlab. The course is designed for students that have had no previous programming experience, but may still be helpful to those that have programmed previously but not used Matlab.
The course for 2014 has now finished. Materials for the course (inlcuding lecture slides and tutorial exercises and answers) are available from my University webpage
