Research Assistant

University of Birmingham

Hello! I’m a research assistant in the VR Lab.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences and a Master’s degree in Computer Science. My earlier work focused on healthcare and pathology, with hands-on experience in molecular laboratories and hospitals. Building on this foundation, I have worked on projects applying machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to support molecular test development.

I am currently working on projects involving motion analysis and human movement dynamics. My broader interests lie at the intersection of human pathology and computer science, particularly in using computational methods to analyze movement, performance, and health related outcomes at both the molecular and anatomical levels.
