Prof. Lewis is the foundation chair of X-ray and Synchrotron Physics at Monash University. He has 25 years experience in using synchrotrons for biomedical applications and is internationally recognised for his work in the medical applications of synchrotrons and advanced X-ray detector design having published more than 130 articles. His current research areas involve the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques predominantly based around the use of synchrotrons.
Specific projects include
- The use of phase contrast X-ray imaging for the dynamic imaging of the first breaths after birth in small animals
- High resolution tracking of cell migration in the body using nano-particle based contrast agents
- Investigation of the efficacy microbeam radiotherapy, a synchrotron based therapeutic modality well tolerated by normal tissue at extremely high dose.
- Translation of phase contrast imaging into the clinic
He also holds an adjunct chair in Medical Imaging at the University of Saskatchewan a visiting chair in neuroscience at the University of Liverpool.
