  • Developed technical skills in Python and MS Excel for statistical analysis and report generation related to imaging QA and dosimetry.
  • Applied theoretical physics background to understand and research nuclear medicine imaging principles (SPECT, PET, SPECT-CT) and radiopharmaceutical therapy dosimetry.

Physics Lecturer

New City College
London
01.2025 - 05.2025
  • Delivered advanced physics concepts to A-Level, GCSE, and BTEC Applied Science students-covering topics such as radiation physics, electromagnetic waves, energy transfer, and medical physics relevant to radiotherapy physics.
  • Created and administered mock assessments to measure conceptual understanding and develop critical reasoning-reflecting skills transferable to clinical audit, quality assurance (QA), and data validation in radiotherapy.
  • Ensured compliance with academic regulations during exams-mirroring attention to procedural accuracy and regulatory frameworks essential under IR(ME)R and IRR17 in NHS clinical environments.
  • Conducted targeted intervention sessions for students requiring additional support-demonstrating a commitment to mentoring and teaching, which aligns with NHS responsibilities to train radiographers, dosimetrists, and junior physicists.
  • Maintained detailed academic tracking and progress monitoring using ProMonitor-reflecting data management, documentation, and review processes critical for QA reporting and patient dose auditing.
  • Delivered basic mathematics instruction, reinforcing numeracy and analytical thinking, both vital for dosimetric calculations, error checking, and treatment planning.

Maths Lecturer

London South East College
Bromley
09.2024 - 01.2025
  • Delivered applied mathematical instruction to post-16 learners, developing key numeracy skills applicable to dosimetry calculations, treatment planning algorithms, and statistical QA analysis in radiotherapy.
  • Designed tailored exam preparation strategies, fostering a high standard of analytical thinking and precision, directly relevant to interpreting complex radiotherapy planning data and calibrating medical equipment.
  • Monitored academic progress and behavioural trends using eTracker, reflecting familiarity with data management systems, performance tracking, and record-keeping protocols-all essential in clinical governance and audit.
  • Created weekly targeted worksheets to build problem-solving abilities-mirroring the iterative and evidence-based approach necessary in radiotherapy R&D, dose optimisation, and physics QA processes.

Scientific Workshop Practitioner (Outreach & Engagement)

Vantage Education Ltd
Worcester
