Profile
My main passion is in integrating mechanics with electronics, particularly within medical devices. It was this intersection that drew me to extend my studies at Leeds where I am actively engaged with the Healthcare Sector. Currently, my research directly reflects this passion as I am developing innovative magnetic and sensorised soft vine robotics, aiming to revolutionise minimally invasive neurosurgeries. My work in the Storm Lab involves designing and testing prototypes with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes with minimalistic solutions.
