      I work at a hospital called Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Liverpool.

      Mostly I work with other medical physicists, but sometimes also radiographers (the staff who actually press the buttons to take medical images or give radiotherapy treatment), doctors (oncologists, who are cancer specialists, or radiologists, who specialise in medical imaging) and engineers (who look after the imaging and treatment machines).

      I work at the Novo Nordisk Research Centre Oxford. I work with cell biologists, automation teams, computational biologists and genetics experts in order to find genes and proteins involved in metabolic diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart disease and others. I’m in charge of imaging and image analysis of cell culture treatments.

      I work at Durham University, in the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology. It’s a research institute specialized in particle physics and the research for new particles in the Universe. It also has experts (like me) in cosmology and primordial black holes in it.

      Most of the time I work from the office, but actually sometimes I also like to be in a fun environment to not get bored, so I work from coffee places. The good thing is that because I am a theorist I don’t need much material with me: I essentially need my brain, my computer (to search for articles online and do some programming), a pen and a piece of paper (to do some calculations if I need to). It’s quite nice because I can really work from anywhere.

      I work with several professors there, that help me thinking of innovative projects, but also with other young researchers like me around the world. Currently, I have ongoing projects with people working in the US, in France, in Poland, in Spain, in Korea, and in Italy. Sometimes it makes it difficult to organise online meetings because during my office hours it is the early morning in the US and the late evening in Korea 😀

      I hope I answered your question well enough! Feel free to ask more, and don’t forget…

      … to vote for your favourite scientist 😉
