CERN CLIC accelerator, CLEAR research group

CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) technology has many applications to modern medical accelerator physics, allowing previously inaccessible particle energies to be reached with significantly reduced volume.

DPhil Candidate (DPhil, 3nd year). 

I work with Prof. Manjit Dosanjh on the STELLA project (Smart Technology to Extend Lives with Linear Accelerators) in conjunction with a small team at CERN to develop LINAC radiotherapy units for lower/middle-income countries using AI and machine learning. My research focuses on Variational Autoencoder- and Transformer-based approaches to fault prediction in existing radiotherapy LINACs, using machine fault logs to predict machine downtime modes and advance warning times.

In my Master's project I researched magnet design for VHEE radiotherapy as part of the CLEAR group at CERN, helping to develop a new design of toroidal quadrupole magnet for the VHEE GaToroid project.

Outside of academia I enjoy sport, and am an active member of the university cross-country (OUCCC) and athletics (OUAC) teams as well as sitting on the committee of the orienteering club (OUOC), with which I compete internationally all over Europe.
