My main research interest is to develop novel infrared and electronic measurement technologies for bio-medical applications, including skin characterisation, trans-dermal drug diffusion and medical diagnosis. To date, I have successfully supervised 10 PhD students, got 2 UK patent applications, and got nearly £1M research generated incomes. I have published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. I have also published two books.
