Projects that I work on include: Mathematical modelling of radiotherapy (with Dr Helen McAneney and Professor Patrick Johnston, Queen's University Belfast). Mathematical and computational models of tumour segmentation and tracking (with Ms Anita Behera and Professor Patrick Johnston, Queen's University Belfast). Mathematical modelling of geometries in solid tumour growth (with Bibiana Pretel Fumado and Professor Patrick Johnston, Queen's University Belfast and Professor Helen Byrne, Nottingham University). Deterministic and stochastic modelling of apoptosis kinetics in lung cancer (with Ms Claire Grills and Dr Dean Fennell, Queen's University Belfast). My research in Mathematical Biomedicine is funded by the Leverhulme Trust: www.leverhulmetrust.org.uk European Social Fund:  Department of Education and Learning, Northern Ireland. Theoretical and Computational Physics I also continue to do research in Theoretical and Computational Physics.  Some recent research projects include: Stokes phenomenon and quantum defect theory (with Ms Carla McGrath and Professor Derrick Crothers). Ionization in ion-atom collisions:  Recoil-ion momentum spectroscopy (collaborators have included Dr Brian Nesbitt, Dr Donna McSherry, Dr Ruth Pedlow and Professor Derrick Crothers, Queen's University Belfast). Ionization in ion-atom collisions:  Ejected electron spectroscopy (collaborators have included, Dr Brian Nesbitt, Dr Donna McSherry, Dr Ruth Pedlow and Professor Derrick Crothers, Queen's University Belfast). Charge transfer in ion-atom collisions (collaborators have included Dr James Bradley and Professor Derrick Crothers, Queen's University Belfast). Research in this area has been supported by:     EPSRC    The Royal Society     Department of Education and Learning, Northern Ireland
