Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarl Whitfield is a Research Fellow with nine years of experience developing computational models of gas transport in the lung to simulate breathing in cystic fibrosis and other respiratory diseases. Based at the University of Manchester and funded by the MRC, he bridges imaging data from the POLARIS group at University of Sheffield and clinical collaborators at Manchester CF Centre to translate biophysical theory into clinically relevant simulations. His background—PhD in Biophysics and an MPhys in Physics with Mathematics from Sheffield—supports strong quantitative modeling, numerical methods, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Carl has moved steadily through fellowships and postdoctoral posts into a research leadership role, combining project management experience with deep domain expertise. Notably, he focuses on patient-relevant modeling rather than purely theoretical work, enabling tools that can inform diagnosis and treatment planning.
