About me 

I am a biomechanics researcher focused on supporting orthopaedics technology development and injury prevention strategies by translating experimental and computational study insights into actionable engineering directions. Since October 2023 I have been working at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of UCSF leading the launch of OrthoCAP, a remote  digital health application, to improve surgical outcome research and post-operative clinical care. 

My diverse background is illustrated in an international resume with research work at world leading institutions in the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK, an officer role in the military and over 20 journal publications and podium presentations at scientific conferences. Prior to my current role I have developed engineering methods to estimate spinal loading during sporting impacts, the influence of construct positioning and morphological variation  on post-operative shoulder loading and the illustration of a novel patella fixation procedure.

My passion lies in helping to answer clinical problems through developing orthopaedic and medical technology available to clinicians to improve peoples quality of life.

And aviation, I love aviation! 

In my free time I am a competitive rugby player, a keen cyclist and outdoorsman regularly volunteering at my local national park.
