Dr David Smith
Senior Lecturer
Summary
I initially came to Brunel in 2004 as a research associate responsible for developing and testing imaging and spectroscopy detectors for use in space before being appointed as a lecturer in 2006. I work in the Sensors and Instrumentation group where I apply my detector and instrumentation knowledge to a variety of fields, including space research, medical research, particle physics and radiation dosimetry. I am involved with the teaching of a number of undergraduate and postgraduate modules in the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences and I coordinate the Level 1 Multi-Disciplinary Project.
