BIOGRAPHY

My PhD topic is on the development of a novel affordable lightweight underactuated biomimetic multi-DOF prosthetic hands.

My hobbies include working out, running and getting outdoors as much as I can. I taught at an international school in Thailand for a year also!

I worked for 6 years with the NHS after completing my BSc in Biomedical Science. I then changed field and completed my MSc in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Liverpool in 2023, with a research project focused on shape memory alloys as artificial muscles.
