For over a century, X-rays have been used to visualise the internal structure of opaque objects, driving major breakthroughs in healthcare, industry, and scientific research. Conventional X-ray

Roentgen’s Nobel Prize-winning discovery of X-rays enabled us to non-destructively image inside the body, birthing medical diagnostic imaging and revolutionising materials characterisation

My primary areas of research activity are two fold: first, studing thermonuclear (X-ray) bursts from accreting neutron stars; and second, searches for optical counterparts of gravitational-wave

Conventional x-ray imaging is firmly established as an invaluable tool in medicine, security, research and manufacturing. However, conventional methods extract only a fraction of the sample
