Portrait of Charles Sillett

Charles Sillett

Postdoctoral researcher (previous member) · Imperial College London

Charles graduated from the University of Oxford with an integrated Master’s in Physics. For his MPhys project, he investigated the effects of Laser Wakefield Acceleration in cluster plasmas, working in the Peter Norreys group. His long-held interest in medical technology led him to join CEMRG to start his PhD in October 2020.

Charles’ PhD focused on using cardiac CT images to quantify cardiac function in the left atrium. He investigated the link between left atrial mechanics and incidents of heart failure and atrial fibrillation amongst patients.

After his PhD, in 2025, Charles went to Stanford University as a Postdoctoral Scholar.
