OVERVIEW

I graduated from Queen Mary College, the University of London, in 2010 with a BEng (Hons) in Medical Engineering and received the MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering from Imperial College London in 2011, and completed a PhD degree in Medical Robotics from Imperial College London in 2015.

Thereafter, I joined Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL) as a research fellow in medical robotics, working on developing a novel Minimally Invasive Robot-Assisted Fracture Surgery (RAFS).
Before joining UEL, I spent three years at Aston University as a Teaching Fellow in Biomedical Engineering.

I am a chartered engineer, a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (MIMechE) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

CURRENT RESEARCH

My research is focused on the development of Medical Robotics for Minimal Invasive Surgeries. This includes the design and development of Robotically Assisted Flexible Intervention Devices. My research is also concerned with 3D Computational Modelling and FEA studies of human tissues to aid complex surgical procedures.

Current areas of research: Patient-specific respiratory mask embedded with physiological detectors; Tactile feedback of the insertion of a needle into the spinal column; Sitting Volleyball upper limb prosthesis for above-elbow amputees.

Research Interests:

  • Surgical Robotics
  • Flexible Surgical Intervention
  • Minimal Invasive Surgery
  • 3D Modelling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Human Tissues.
  • Medical Device Design
  • Bio-fluid Mechanics
