Student Background:

Hello, I am a PhD student who joined the OPG in October 2024. Before this, I studied for my undergraduate in Electronic Engineering here at the University of Nottingham and graduated with a First Class MEng degree in 2023. My PhD is a CASE Studentship with the BBSRC DTP and in partnership with Cairn Research Ltd.

PhD Project Working Title: The Fast and Non-Spurious: High-content screening without artefact in barrier tissues on a chip.

Project Supervisors:

Academic Supervisors:

- Dr Kevin Webb

- Dr George Gordon

Partner Supervisors (Cairn Research Ltd.):

- Dr Jeremy Graham

- Dr Andrew Allan

Project Description:

This project aims to develop a microscopy system suitable for application in high-content/high-throughput screening of biological tissues in micro-fluidic chips. The focus will be on developing robust and efficient autofocus and meniscus correction methods whilst implementing multi-modal imaging techniques to provide high-contrast, quantitative results.
