Profile Summary

Postdoctoral Research - Studied the biological effects induced by microbes radiation in small animal models and the efficacy of a novel UVC radiation source for anti-microbial applications, including prevention of surgical site infections and viral transmission. PhD Project - The research was a NASA funded study focused on the role of type and dose of space radiation in the induction of biological effects in mammalian cells and their impact on human health risks. Bcc Physics Project - Studied murine cell survival after low fluencies of accelerated lithium ions.
