• Visiting Researcher

  • Mar 2020 - Present

  I continue to collaborate with the University of Southampton as a Visiting Research Fellow. This includes contributing to academic journal articles and providing guest lectures for the MBA course of Entrepreneurship, Amputation and Prosthetic Rehabilitation MSc and Engineering Replacement Body Parts.

• RAEng Enterprise Fellow

  • Mar 2019 - Feb 2020

  The Royal Academy of Engineering's Enterprise Fellowship provides University researchers with the support to commercialise their technology. I was awarded the fellowship in March 2019 to commercialise my PhD research and make it accessible within the clinic. During the year, I learned the commercial skills needed to build Radii Devices and was mentored by leading Engineering Entrepreneurs.

• PhD Student

  • Sep 2015 - Feb 2019

  My PhD was titled "Development and Applications of a FEA model for the residual limb-prosthetic socket system". The project aimed to develop computational models of the interaction between the residual limb of a lower limb and their prosthetic socket. The developed model enabled fast, efficient optimisation of the prosthetic socket design for the individual patient. During my PhD, I was also the simulation engineer on ImpAmp, an international EUROSTARS project to develop a novel implant for people with amputation. The outputs of my PhD were identified as having clinical applications, leading to the winning of the RAEng Enterprise Fellowship and incorporation of Radii Devices Ltd.

• Research Assistant

  • Oct 2016 - Jan 2017

  Developing software and corresponding computational analysis tools to analyse the geometry of surface scans of the residual limbs and prosthetic sockets of lower limb amputees. During the project, I created the GUI and analysis tools from scratch within using Python. The aim of this package was to give researchers of all levels of coding access to these tools to analyse clinical practice. This has since been released as an open source software package. This work contributed to the award of a grant to improve access to digital technologies for people with amputation in LMICs.

  ampscan is an open-source Python package for analysis and visualisation of digitised surface scan data, specifically for applications within Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O), with an aim to improve evidence-based clinical practice towards improved patient outcomes. This package has been designed to be accessible for researchers and clinicians with only a limited knowledge of Python. The package was developed during my PhD and is now maintained by myself and the University of Southampton. ampscan is an open-source Python package for analysis and visualisation of digitised surface scan data, specifically for applications within Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O), with an aim to improve evidence-based clinical practice towards improved patient outcomes.

• Research Intern

  • Jun 2014 - Aug 2014

  My research project was titled "Development of a Statistical Shape Model based tool for characterising residual limb shape in Transtibial Amputees". During the course of my internship, I developed the model from surface laser scans of amputee plaster casts used in socket fitting. A Graphical User Interface was created with the aim for it to be used by Prosthetists to easily input new data into the model. The aim for this model is to provide a knowledge base for the Prosthetists of patient shape data. This has the potential to be utilised to aid in socket fitting, thereby increasing the quality of life for the patient. This research formed the basis of my undergraduate Individual Project for my 3rd year during which I continued to develop and interrogate the model.
