Profile

I joined the University of Sheffield in 2020, whilst an undergraduate medical student, to study for a Master of Research in cardiovascular science. I graduated top of my year and was awarded the Cumberland Award. Through this time, I developed a research interest in computational modelling of blood flow and vascular morphometric scaling in the coronary arteries. I subsequently graduated from Lancaster Medical School in 2021, ranked first in my year, and was awarded the Medical School Academic Prize and Lancaster University Chancellor’s Medal. I completed the first stage of my postgraduate clinical training as a research-focused specialised foundation doctor at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. I am currently working as a Sheffield BRC Academic Clinical Fellow at the University of Sheffield and recently won the BCS/BHF/BAS/BSCR Young Investigator Award.

Research interests

I am a member of the Mathematical Modelling in Medicine research group within the Division of Clinical Medicine. My primary research interests are in computational modelling of blood flow and vascular morphometric scaling. Under the supervision of Dr Paul Morris and Professor Ian Halliday, I am involved in the ongoing development and validation of the VIRTUheart suite for computing coronary physiology. This is an image-based software which computes fractional flow reserve (FFR), absolute flow (mL/min) and microvascular resistance in the coronary arterial circulation. Current work particularly focuses on development of side branch flow techniques, in-vivo validation and tool clinical applicability.

I have also worked extensively on coronary morphometric scaling, which describes the relationship between arterial size and blood flow around bifurcation points. I recently published a meta-analysis on this subject, for which I was awarded the Sheffield School of Medicine and Population Health early career researcher prize. My other research interests include zero-dimensional modelling of global haemodynamics, which has recently been applied to modelling gravitational forces in commercial spaceflight and creating safer hospital systems.

Teaching interests

I enjoy teaching clinical skills to undergraduate medical students on the wards and in simulated settings and am currently completing the final stages of a post-graduate certificate in medical education. I also lecture on the Cardiovascular Medicine: From Molecules to Man MRes course at the University of Sheffield and have co-supervised student computational modelling projects.
