Profile
I am a Research Fellow at the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (iMBE), University of Leeds. In 2003 I was successfully awarded a Physics Masters degree at Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, India. In 2008 I joined Leeds University as an iMBE Laboratory Technician and in 2013 I undertook a part time PhD combined with working as a Graduate Engineer in the Institute under the guidance of Professor John Fisher, Professor Eileen Ingham and Associate Professor Louise Jennings and I successfully completed my doctorate in 2019.
My current research interests focus on the biotribology of hip and cardiovascular biomechanics.
