معرفی
Matthew Dimmock is a Senior Lecturer in Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) at Keele University's School of Allied Health Professions and Pharmacy. He holds a PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of Liverpool (2008), with postdoctoral research at Monash Centre for Synchrotron Science and the Australian Synchrotron. His research focuses on X-ray phase contrast imaging for low-dose cancer detection, forensic imaging analytics, and novel diagnostic techniques. He has held academic positions at Monash University (2013-2022) and currently leads projects at Keele. Key collaborations include work with Monash Biomedical Imaging, the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, and ANSTO Australian Synchrotron. He has secured over £2.8M in grants, including NHMRC Synergy Grants and Leidos Collaboration funding. His publications span medical physics, imaging technology, and educational innovations in radiography.
Education: PhD in Nuclear Physics (University of Liverpool, 2008). Postdoctoral appointments: Monash Centre for Synchrotron Science (2008-2012), Australian Synchrotron (2012-2013).
Research interests include radiation detector design, phase-contrast imaging for cancer diagnosis, forensic imaging applications, and medical education through virtual reality simulations. He has contributed to advancements in breast cancer imaging, proton therapy planning, and pediatric radiation safety. His work emphasizes low-dose imaging techniques and data-driven approaches in clinical and forensic contexts.
Grants and collaborations highlight his role in interdisciplinary projects: Co-applicant for a £2.7M NHMRC Synergy Grant (2022), Co-Investigator in forensic machine learning initiatives (2022), and Principal Investigator for X-ray phase contrast studies (2016). His educational innovations include haptic VR simulations for radiography training and virtual patient clinics.
Labs/Teams: Active in the Keele School of Allied Health Professions, collaborating with Australian and international institutions on synchrotron-based imaging and forensic science. His research group focuses on translating cutting-edge imaging technologies into clinical practice.
