I'm very excited to anounce that I'm Co-Founder and CEO at e184 BAI. As AI advances, having a way to work more closely with it is ever more important. That's why we're developing sensitive magnetometers for magnetoencephalography (MEG) towards building a brain-computer interface.

Congrats to Alex Newman on his great PhD and passing his viva!

Alex Newman built a diamond magnetometer we'd like to use for cancer surgery. The sensor head is 10 mm across: small enough for keyhole surgery and endoscopy. He could detect the magnetic tracer fluid used in breast cancer surgery. The Independent covered it: www.the-independent.com/news/health/...

Diamonds could help detect cancer using groundbreaking new technique

University of Warwick scientists have created a device that is designed to trace tiny magnetic particles injected into the body

We’ve built an endoscopic diamond magnetometer! With some development, this could help find secondary tumours in breast cancer surgery, as well as helping with laparoscopic and endoscopic operations. Our probe is only 10 mm in diameter: an endoscopic probe has to be 12 mm or less

I’m at a superb conference on quantum diamonds in Hungary. Each speaker has 75 minutes but they get lots of questions and discussion throughout so it’s nothing like a lecture conferences.weizmann.ac.il/QDiamond25/

Our new paper is out: “On the Road with a Diamond Magnetometer”… I drove the van while Stuart Graham measured the magnetic field using a diamond! This could be useful for navigation using a magnetic map. The paper is free to download for 50 days authors.elsevier.com/c/1kTj53IYYk...

Join us! There is a fully-funded PhD studentship in my group working on our levitated microdiamond experiment towards (eventually) a test of the quantum nature of gravity. I will also soon be advertising a 3-year postdoc job on this project. warwick.ac.uk/gavinmorley/...

Hello Bluesky! My research group builds #quantum technology with nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond, towards useful quantum computing, communication and sensing. We also magnetically levitate microdiamonds towards a test of the quantum nature of gravity
