Head of Science
X-ray diffraction, X-ray imaging, IP

Dr Dicken has over 12 years’ experience in material science and tomographic imaging, the latter 10 of which have been spent developing X-ray diffraction imaging systems. Anthony is involved in the entire R&D effort from concept, modelling, experimental, coding, data mining and delivery.

Anthony has generated significant intellectual property for HALO, has authored over 20 directly relevant publications, delivered invited conference presentations and is a named inventor on HALO patent applications. Anthony currently acts as science lead on the BAA17-03 ATLAS program as well as several UK funded DASA (Future Screening for Aviation and Borders) projects.

While serving as a senior postdoctoral research fellow at Nottingham Trent University, Anthony delivered several directly relevant projects to include:

  • DHS, BAA13-05 Advanced X-ray Materials Discrimination 2015 – 2019 (~$5M)

  • EPSRC, Point-of-Care High Accuracy Fracture Risk Prediction 2013-2016 (£786k)

  • UK Home Office, Hotspot Imaging 2008-2014 (£450k)

These projects developed the underpinning knowledge base for HALO as well as grant supporting materials.
