Biography
PhD on Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Small Metallic Particles UMIST, 1996. BSc in Chemistry UMIST, 1988.
Research Interest
My research interests lie in data reduction, working mainly with the results from ToF-SIMS (time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry) and IR (infra red spectroscopy) experiments in cell chemistry. Chemometric and cheminformatic approaches are applied to spectra, 2D chemical images and 3D chemical hypercubes to understand the complex chemistries involved in cell structure, metabolism and drug interaction. Work carried out in parallel aims to develop visualisation tools for chemists and biologists working in this area.
