I was notified today that my first significant UK research council funding application has been successful.

This is great news as it means that from March 2014 I will be leading a £155,000 project to develop a new type of gamma radiation imaging sensor for use in environmental applications.

This is a nice extension of my research strand in imaging contaminants in porous media, but it also consolidated the work I have done in the last year to build collaborative relationships with colleagues in Physics and Environmental Sciences here at Liverpool.

We have a perfect PDRA lined up and ready to go so I’m really looking forward to this one.
