Jonathan graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 2002.

He entered Radiology training in Guy’s and St. Thomas’ London before moving to the University of Dundee when he was awarded a Clinical Lecturer post there. During his training in Dundee he was awarded a Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Fellowship to undertake a PhD using cardiac MRI to examine the role of arterial stiffening in chronic obstructive pulmonary artery disease. After completing his training in Radiology Jonathan undertook a fellowship in Advanced Cardiac Imaging in St Paul’s Hospital under the auspices of Jonathon Leipsic. During this time he conducted research examining the benefits of cardiac CT in structural and coronary disease, and the potential for computational fluid dynamics to guide and improve the clinical care of patients with coronary artery disease.

Subsequent to this, Jonathan worked as a University Lecturer at the University of Cambridge, where he developed a research portfolio leveraging large national and multinational datasets for the better understanding of the impact of cardiothoracic imaging for patient outcomes. These datasets have also formed the basis of multiple ongoing projects designing, testing and utilising AI algorithms.

Jonathan is currently a Senior Lecturer and an Honorary Consultant Cardiothoracic Radiologist. His current focus is on continuing to improve our use of cardiovascular CT and MRI for better patient treatment and outcomes in structural and coronary artery disease. He is on the trial steering committee for CROSS-HF – an RCT studying CT and MRI in heart failure; and co-lead for FISH&CHIPS – a study examining the impact of the national deployment of AI-enabled technologies on outcomes in the NHS.

He has authored >150 peer reviewed publications, co-authored the SCCT guidelines on the role of CT in the assessment for transcatheter aortic valve insertion, and the BSCI/BSTI guidelines on the reporting of calcification on routine chest CT. He sits on the executive committee of the BSCI, guideline committee of the SCCT, the Certification and Accreditation Committee of the EACVI, and Diagnostic Advisory Committee of NICE.
