BIO

I am a General Surgery registrar and Clinical Research Fellow at Imperial College London, with a subspeciality interest in Upper Gastrointestinal surgery.

 

I qualified from St. George's Hospital Medical School in 2014, and subsequently completed a Masters degree in Surgical Innovation at Imperial College London, where I first developed an interest in the application of technology to improve outcomes in surgery. 

 

My reserarch interests centre on the application of technological innovation and artificial intelligence to improve surgical outcomes.  I am a PhD candidate with the Surgical Imaging and Biophotonics research group, part of the Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery at the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial.  My work focuses on enhancing the precision of surgical mangement of cancers using biophotonic techniques for real-time intraoperative guidance, with the ultimate aim of reducing cancer recurrence after resection.  I am pursuing a PhD under the supervision of Prof Daniel Elson, Mr Christopher Peters and Prof Ara Darzi, investigating the use of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for intra-operative lymph node assessment.
