I am an acoustics engineer, scientist and inventor with a fascination for sound and electronics that goes all the way back to my early childhood, culminating at age fifteen with a thermionic valve radio telescope complete with chimney stack-mounted parabolic antenna with which I was able to listen to the signals of the early satellites and noise from the stars. I studied pure electronics at Northumbria University and went on to work under Professor Joseph Joshua Weiss and Dr Alastair Johnson in the Department of Radiation Chemistry at Newcastle University where I worked with their Febetron beta-ray field-emission device and Electron Spin Resonance machine. My primary interests lie in understanding the mechanisms that underpin sound therapy and developing applications for the CymaScope instrument, which I invented in 2002.
