About
I completed my undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at Brunel University before directing my focus towards biological applications of mechanical theory through a MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Surrey. I was selected for sponsorship through my MSc by the NHS and completed Clinical Engineering training alongside my studies, achieving a post-graduate diploma with merit. After working for the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust, I went on to undertake a PhD in Biomechanics at The Royal Veterinary College, studying the effects of growth on mechanics of locomotion in an athletic and fast-growing species, the ostrich. After my PhD, I worked for Qinetiq, undertaking military research for two years, while also lecturing part-time at McTimoney College of Chiropractic, before joining Kingston University to further pursue my interests in both teaching and clinical and sport biomechanics research.
