Photons, fibres, medical applications, science (a personal website for my work and work from the lab)
I think the important thing here is through Arran's hard work we can get the time resolved dynamics of the singlet oxygen emission in seconds instead of minutes. This means you could actually use this for observing the effectiveness of PhotoDynamic Therapy (PDT) during a procedure. Translating this to clinical use could be very exciting.... …

Backgrounds removed through time correlated photon counting, to enable high visibility Raman signals without any distal optics, with standard off the shelf fibres, with fast measurement times.Great work from Caitlin getting this published! We think this is the first demo of this with realistic measurement times, enabled by multiplexed detection for single shot time resolved …

Always a great conference, an honour to chair a session, and great work presented by Ife and Mathew. Ife on stage: Mathew being crowded at his poster: Local food: and maybe some beer:
Happy to be highly commended at the Principal's Research Impact and Engagement Awards for our work on OptoLoc (more to come on that....)

At the Science Festival - with the public.... not our usual audience but great fun. Organised by U-Care (particularly Nat) to highlight our work and the wider field of novel optics and photonics for medicine.
