Dr Robert Moss is a Lecturer in Applied Radiation Physics at University College London (UCL). He joined the department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering in 2014 after spending over 4 years working on the development of new methods for non-invasive sensing in security and defence. Dr Moss is now the leader of the Radiation Physics Group which has a research portfolio that includes the development of 3D printable radiation sensors, complete detector systems for radioactive source localisation and diagnostics in radiotherapy, and new techniques for non-invasive material identification in 3D. He works across a number of application areas including security screening, medical devices and industrial quality assurance.
Dr. Cheshire is a Global Product Manager at LGC Standards where she is responsible for managing organic and inorganic reference material portfolios to support the Environmental, Food and Forensics markets. Kelly holds a PhD in Forensic Science from University College London where she specialised in the chemical analysis of forensic evidence.
Robert Speller is the Emeritus Joel Professor of Physics Applied to Medicine. He has worked in different aspects of radiation physics for more than 45 years. Originally a cosmic ray astronomer he moved into medical physics in 1973 as a lecturer at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School (MHMS). With the merger of MHMS and UCL in 1988 he has since remained at UCL. He has interests in scattered radiation fields, sensors and imaging systems with applications in medicine, industry and security. His current research interests are in using different detector systems to map radiation distributions associated with proton therapy, applying diffraction techniques to characterize difficult materials (cancer, explosives, etc) and unraveling the mysteries of the Antikythera Mechanism.
Professor Shane Johnson directs the Dawes Centre for Future Crime at UCL and co-directs the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Cybersecurity at UCL. His recent research has examined the (lack of) security of the Internet of Things (IoT), crime threats associated with biotechnologies, the use of advanced materials (e.g., Graphene) to reduce crime, crime threats associated with Cryptocurrencies, and the security of Smart Cities. He has worked closely with the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport, has a Chief Constable’s commendation for his work on what works to reduce crime, and is on the Scientific Advisory boards of the UK Home Office and the Max Planck Institute. He has published over 150 articles and his work has been funded by sponsors to include the EPSRC, ESRC, Leverhulme Trust, British Academic, Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK Home Office, police forces, and the US Minerva Initiative.
Richard has over 25 years of Pracademic (Practical Academic) experience in land management both in the UK and overseas. He has worked in a variety of challenging environments from Afghanistan and Angola to Nigeria and Zambia. In the last 15 years, he has been very much involved in the advancement of the field of Stabilisation Agriculture, developing integrated livelihood solutions in countries affected by or emerging from conflict in order to promote food security and economic growth. It is from this work he has developed an interest in rural crime as an element of Human Security, with a particular interest in counterfeit agri-chemicals and livestock theft. With colleagues drawn from across the University and PhD researchers, he manages the Rural Security Research Group which focuses on rural crime and modern slavery in agricultural systems both in the UK and overseas.
JC has a PhD in Engineering from University of Hull. He joined the department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering and at University College London as a research associate after his PhD. He is currently working in UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage. He has 10 years of experiences in using X-rays, neutrons radiation, and wide range of optical analytical instruments in materials research. He has been leading the experiments at the national laboratories in UK, USA and Switzerland.
Martin Hare is a Principal Lecturer at Harper Adams University. He started his career in the crop protection industry in the late 1980s working for Farm Protection Ltd and then ICI Agrochemicals. He moved into academia in 1996 after studying for a PhD and has worked at Harper Adams University for over 25 years. He has maintained links with the industry through research and reach out activities and has been a member of BASIS Registration Limited’s Professional Matters Committee and its Education and Training Committee. He has been a member of the Advisory Committee on Pesticides (ACP) and recently retired as a member of the UK Expert Committee on Pesticides (UK ECP). In addition to teaching at the university, he is a trainer on courses such as the BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection and the BASIS Plant Protection Award.
