Julian Perry
Julian is an experimental research physicist who did his Masters in Radiation Physics at London University while working at St Bartholomew’s Hospital.
He became a Senior Physicist in the Medical Physics and Bio-Engineering department at University College Hospital, primarily working with the radiation monitoring and protection service for NHS employees and on the quality control of X-ray and Nuclear Medicine imaging systems.
From this work, he contributed to an international inter-comparison study on Gamma cameras and wrote a monograph on radiation dosimetry for the Institute of Physics Medical Science Series.
He then became a visiting lecturer at University College London training postdocs and research students in the safe handling, use and applications of radionuclides.
Later he trained as a science teacher for the state education system via a PGCE at Sussex University. He has also tutored students in science subjects for over 30 years.
His main focus now is exploring the frontier physics of ‘far from equilibrium’ and thermodynamically open systems, in the context of electronic and electrical devices and theory, with a view to enhanced technologies which can make a positive contribution towards net zero.
His other main interests revolve around a lifelong interest in photography and the visual arts, as well as the 3D modelling of ancient sites, using aerial photogrammetry, for local archeological and heritage organisations.
