Phil has just finished his PhD in Biophysics at the University of St. Andrews, and is now working as a research fellow. His research involves the use and development of Laser based techniques to diagnose and study the development of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Away from the lab Phil likes to play cricket, golf and watch other sports from the comfort of a bar stool as well as just taking it easy.
"With a Science meets X-factor feel, getting up under the spotlight and in front of the camera was a nerve wracking business but after the presentation was over it was good to discover no Simon Cowells on the judging panel. Rather the judges were really positive and gave some great pointers for improvement. After the second presentation there was a nervous wait for the judge’s final decision and I was rather surprised to win as all the contestants gave really interesting presentations. Famelab was a fun day and I would highly recommend taking part even if you’re a bit shy as you will get some great feedback and tips to improve so if you find yourself trying to tell your mates down the pub or over dinner about some great science you heard about then NESTA famelab is for you."
