Background:

I was a PDRA working on On-body MManufacturing System (OMMS) funded by Engineering Practical Science Research Council (EPSRC) at the University of Kent. I worked on a microfluidic leukapheresis device (Separating white blood cells from whole blood). Read more here.

I studied a PhD in Engineering Mathematics at the University of Bristol, September 2014 – October 2019. I created a fast prototyping nanoparticle testbed.  The platform monitored the distribution of nanoparticles through tumour extracellular matrix mimics. My PhD thesis is available here: Screening Nanoparticle Dynamics on Modular Tumours-on-a-chip devices — University of Bristol

I graduated from the University of Lincoln with a BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science degree in September 2014. This degree was accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). I learnt a variety of biomedical techniques used for the diagnosis and improving human health.
