APS March Meeting 2012
Published:
I will present some results on dusty plasmas at this year’s American Physical Society March Meeting in Boston, USA. My talk is scheduled for the High Pressure: Experiment session on Thursday March 1. I’ll be talking about combining Rankine-Hugoniot shock relations and target tracking to derive an equation of state for a dusty plasma.

I recently visited Garmisch-Partenkirchen to participate in the 6th annual International Conference on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas. The conference was excellent. Full of very interesting talks and a decent social program, too. See photos below.
SPIE in Orlando
Published:
I’ll be presenting a talk in Orlando, Florida (U.S.A.) at the SPIE conference “Signal and Data Processing of Small Targets 2010” on Tuesday, 6 April (the final talk of the day). It’s in the Sensor Data and Information Exploitation program track of the “Defense, Security and Sensing” symposium.*

Paper on amyloid-first and tau-first heterogeneity (data-driven subtypes) in Alzheimer’s disease
Published:
Latest paper in the journal Brain is a wonderful piece of work led by the intrepid Leon Aksman, who analysed antemortem and postmortem data from the ADNI and ROSMAP cohorts to unravel some mysteries surrounding the interplay between two key pathologies in Alzheimer’s disease progression: amyloid and tau.
New paper on data-driven progression subtypes in Alzheimer’s disease
Published:
Latest paper is an amazing collaboration led by the wonderful Jake Vogel that pulled together the largest database so far of tau PET imaging of Alzheimer’s pathology in the living brain, then unleashed Alex Young’s SuStaIn algorithm to discover four previously unknown/uncharacterised subtypes.

Decoding Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease
Published:
Following a press-release today (23 March 2016), Dr. Laura Phipps from Alzheimer’s Research UK wrote a blog post about my research into Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Check it out: www.dementiablog.org/using-computers-to-decode-alzheimers
Event-based model of Alzheimer’s disease
Published:
Our POND team at UCL have modelled the changes in Alzheimer’s disease, confirming our current understanding of this disease, and providing a tool for diagnosis and prognosis. You can read about it for free in the journal Brain here (open access). Title and abstract below.
Ideal Gas Law works for soft crystals
Published:
Working with folk from my old stomping ground at the University of Liverpool, we discovered in the laboratory that a two-dimensional dusty plasma can be adequately described using the ideal gas law - even when shock waves are excited to melt the dust crystal.
