Helen Boston

Professor Helen Boston is a faculty member in the Nuclear Physics group at an unspecified university. Her research focuses on instrumentation design, detector characterization, and nuclear structure studies, with applications in medical imaging, security, and environmental assaying. She manages the PRIDE lab and serves as a module coordinator for advanced physics courses.

• Principal investigator for multiple grants from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (2013–2022) and Medical Research Council (2013–2015)
• Research interests include gamma-ray tracking arrays (AGATA), nuclear waste assay, proton cancer therapy imaging, and SPECT dosimetry
• Active in academic service through roles in CAARI conference organization and technical committees

Recent publications (2022–2023) demonstrate expertise in gamma-ray spectroscopy, nuclear deformation analysis, and detector technology. Her work bridges fundamental nuclear physics and applied radiation detection systems across disciplines.
