Dr Emma Chung

I was born in Tasmania studied Physics at the University of Kent and obtained my PhD in Physics from the University of Warwick. I held a British Heart Foundation Intermediate Fellowship from 2008 -2013 before going on to become a HCPC-registered Academic Clinical Scientist and Lecturer in Medical Physics.

I currently work three days per week as a Senior Lecturer in Medical Ultrasound Education at King’s College London. My remaining time is split between my duties as Academic Research Lead for the UHL NHS Trust Medical Physics Department and supervision of my wonderful research students within the University of Leicester Department of Cardiovascular Sciences. 

My research centres on the development and translation of ultrasound technologies for the monitoring and detection of brain injury including funding from the MRC EPSRC NIHR BHF Innovate UK STFC HRUK and industry. I recently received a ‘Highly Commended for research' award in the NHS England Chief Scientific Officer’s awards. I am co-editor of a textbook ‘Practical Clinical Medical Physics’ and former Editor-in-Chief of the British Medical Ultrasound Society journal Ultrasound.
