My name is James Tutt and I am an Assistant Research Professor in the McEntaffer Lab from the United Kingdom (UK). I completed my Ph.D. at the Open University in the UK and I am an expert in the use of silicon-based detectors in X-ray instruments. I have been part of the McEntaffer group since 2014 and have experience in the design, build, and launch of X-ray spectrometers on sub-orbital rocket payloads. Outside of work, I am a keen cyclist and I fill my free time with DIY projects.
