I am a biomechanics and research software expert with experience in the fields of biomechanical engineering, human body modelling and simulation, biosignal processing, optimisation and science communication.
In my free time I am a competitive rugby player, a keen cyclist and outdoorsman regularly volunteering at my local national park.
Currently I lead the development process to integrate high fidelity occupant kinematic and kinetic simulations in MADYMO within our company's product. I consult with accident reconstruction engineers and attorneys to create digital representations of the incident then analyse the relevant biomechanical and injury biomarkers.
Before my current role I lead the design and launch of OrthoCAP, a digital health app at UCSF, reverse engineered Stryker's Blueprint technology to improve shoulder pre-operative planning and informed player safety at the RFU by providing physics based evidence of injury risk in athletes.
At the heart of what I do is to understand, probe and experiment on systems to answer questions, specifically:
Modelling & Simulation
Biomarker Sensing
Digital Health Technology Development
Computational Anatomy
In-vivo & In-vitro Experimentation
Medical Imaging Analysis
Computer Vision & Machine Learning
Experimental Protocol Development
Through my clinical, applied and developmental research I have gained experience that I draw to solve technical issues, such as:
Digital Twin Development (experimental to computational)
Signal Processing & Analysis (laboratory & wearables)
Algorithm Based Event Identification
Trajectory & Parameter Optimisation
Batch Data Pipeline Development
Cloud Platform (Google Firebase)
Nuanced skills gained by managing clinical databases:
HIPAA & Medical Data Safety Compliance
