This research examines how AI is used in NHS radiology and challenges claims that it will replace radiologists. Instead of full automation, AI supports clinicians, helping manage workforce shortages while radiologists retain responsibility for diagnosis and treatment decisions. Evidence, not hype, should guide debates about AI and work.

My research uses particle-based Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) to simulate and analyse how masonry structures age, crack, and fail. By accurately replicating real-life damage and strength, DEM provides a powerful tool for predicting deterioration, improving safety, and planning repairs without harming the structure. Future work explores mortar–brick interfaces, joint types, and brick geometry.
