About
I joined the University of Liverpool and the Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Sciences in September 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher in Digital Twins and in silico Clinical Trials. My background is in Biomedical Engineering and my research focuses on utilising mechanistic models and numerical analysis to understand both healthy and diseased biological systems.
I completed my BEng (Hons) in General Engineering at Durham University and stayed for a Research Master in Engineering instead of working towards an integrated MEng degree. For my master’s degree, I established a novel method for boundary representation and boundary condition imposition in the Material Point Method, which allowed the MPM to analyse problems that were previously not feasible. Coming from a computational mechanics background, I decided to shift my research focus and pursued a doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oxford. For my DPhil project, I developed a multi-scale oxygen transport model for the human brain that captured the response of oxygen distribution to large vessel occlusions, setting the foundation for estimating treatment outcomes of ischaemic stroke and contributes to the in silico investigations of novel treatments.
As a postdoctoral researcher at Liverpool, I am part of the ARISTOTELES project – an EU-funded multi-disciplinary project aimed at developing an AI-powered risk prediction tool for better management of atrial fibrillation. My work involves constructing in silico clinical trials, which includes generating virtual populations, stratifying treatments and predicting outcomes, to evaluate the performance of the prediction tool.
