Biography

My background is in Mechanical Engineering, graduating from the University of Bristol with a BEng in 2019. During and after my undergraduate, I worked on research projects in Soft Robotics for a conformable urinal for urinary incontinence in women, smart orthoses technologies for diabetic foot, and an implantable device to substitute part of the larynx with UoB and the Bristol Robotics Lab. 

After graduating, I worked in London in a non-engineering role in industry. I missed the creativity and excitement of research and decided it was time to return! I am hoping to explore different areas of robotics and work on some interdisciplinary projects during my time in FARSCOPE. Outside of research, I enjoy exploring outdoors, travelling, pottery and have recently started roller skating.
