Background

I am a UK-trained neurosurgery resident and a DPhil student in Clinical Neurosciences at NDCN and the Podium Institute, joining the latter as their first clinically-trained DPhil student. Following completion of medical school at UCL and early postgraduate training in London, I began my neurosurgery training in the West Midlands deanery through a competitive Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) with the University of Birmingham. It was there that I developed a strong interest in sports concussion and neurotrauma, which has evolved into the focus of my DPhil project. I also have research interests in functional neurosurgery (particularly focused ultrasound), CSF disorders and spinal surgery.

I have a further interest in digital health, technology and entrepreneurship and I hope to explore these fields further during my time at Oxford. Ultimately, I aim to develop a career as an academic neurosurgeon with a focus on innovation and technology partnerships.
