I am a Professor of Nuclear Physics in the Nuclear Physics Group at Birmingham and a Humboldtian. I am the Director of the Birmingham Accelerator Facilities and undertake research into both fundamental and applied nuclear physics. More recently, I have developed a research interest in the field of novel medical isotope production and the broad uses of accelerator-produced neutrons.
