Summary
I am a research associate at Human Experience, Analysis and Design Lab at Imperial College. I finished my PhD at the Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College.
My research focuses on biomechanics of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and protective equipment for protection against TBI. I have developed an impact test rig for helmet testing and reconstruction of head injuries from impacts (www.imperial.ac.uk/human-experience-analysis-design/facilities/). I am also involved in undergraduate teaching and supervisions of PhD projects.
