I was an undergraduate and a postgraduate at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton, during which time I played in the university orchestra, sang in the chamber choir and Light Opera Society, and studied acoustics. For a year while writing up my PhD (on geoacoustic inversion in shallow water) I sang with the choir at Lichfield Cathedral. Three years at Arup Acoustics followed, which fulfilled an early ambition: working on the acoustic design of concert halls and opera houses. Since 2003 I have been working on photoacoustic imaging and biomedical ultrasound in the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at University College London. I am currently Professor of Biomedical Acoustics, and a member of the Photoacoustic Imaging and Biomedical Ultrasound research groups.


My interests are mostly in various areas of acoustics, including:
- Photoacoustic imaging, particularly inverse problems including quantitative photoacoustic imaging (and therefore light transport in tissue)
- Wave modelling using spectral and k-space methods (www.k-wave.org)
- Ultrasound detection
- Nonlinear ultrasound
- Biomedical ultrasound
- Other areas of acoustics, including architectural acoustics
I currently teach a module on Biomedical Ultrasound with my colleague and research collaborator Bradley Treeby.
