  Dr Patrick Stowell

  SFN liaison for Innovative Technology

  Patrick is Assistant Professor in the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation at Durham University. He is interested in novel applications of low cost detector instrumentation to solve industrial problems. Cosmic rays provide a unique way for industrial users to access energy scales comparable to world-leading particles accelerator facilities from their own back yard. Alongside research into cosmic ray tomography in the nuclear sector, Patrick helped found a startup company offering cosmic ray muon radiography systems to the civil engineering sector for imaging railway tunnel overburdens. Recently he has turned his attention to the possibility of using cosmic ray neutron detectors to monitor surface soil moisture in arid regions. In particular he is interested in whether combining neutron detector arrays with other STFC technology such as hyper spectral cameras make it possible to map soil moisture on much finer resolutions than currently achievable using cosmic rays alone.
