Current interests

Clare Gouldstone is involved in both industrial dosimetry and dosimetry for radiotherapy applications. She is currently involved in audit work of radiotherapy treatments, alanine reference dosimetry, high dose industrial irradiations and high dose rate brachytherapy. Research interests also include dosimetry for molecular radiotherapy.

Biography

Clare has qualified for a MSc in Medical Physics from the Open University. She holds a BSc (Hons) from courses in physics, mathematics and statistics, as well as Diplomas in Mathematics and Physics and a Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Physics. Prior to joining NPL, she worked in a scientific consultancy using mathematical modelling and before that in a medical rescue organisation.
