Profile

David graduated in 1999 with a BSc in Physics and then went on to develop detector control hardware for the ATLAS detector at CERN, before returning to QMUL to gain a PhD. As part of the PhD he discovered the phenomena of Solidification Driven Extrusion (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0957-4484/17/11/005).

 He joined the Dental Institute in 2009 to work on designing and building a new x-ray microtomography system to image sealed parchment rolls and other heritage artefacts. As part of his interest in heritage science, David sits on the Heritage Science Committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

David is also interested in mineralised tissues, specifically comparative anatomy, development and pathology of mammalian and reptilian teeth. 

David is currently the XMT facilities manager in the Dental Institute.
