A paper was published in the Institute of Physics journal, Plasma and Controlled Fusion titled Laser-driven x-ray and neutron source development for industrial applications of plasma accelerators. In this paper I am named as one of the authors:

A hard copy of the research paper was shown as part of the installation What if we could look at the Sun with x-ray vision at the London Design Festival in 2018. In this exhibition it becomes a conceptual piece, at once a piece of science and a piece of art.
My earliest ambitions with this project was to create a piece of conceptual art that rested on the idea of the 'paper' as the key output of scientists. In the scientific paradigm the creativity, intellectual process and effort all result in a single paper. Its analogy in the art world is an artefact called an artwork. This piece is about repositioning that paper in an environment where I could call it an artwork, at the same time it would still be a research paper, but in this case all of the scientists named on the research paper would be simultaneously artists. A key part of this ambition was to get my name on the research paper so that I could effectively be empowered to render this transformation.
