I am a PhD student in Digital Health Technologies at University College London, where my doctoral research focuses on developing non-invasive biosensing technologies for the continuous monitoring of inflammatory biomarkers. My research explores the use of alternative biofluids, such as sweat and saliva, to measure biomarkers including C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), with the aim of enabling real-time monitoring of inflammatory conditions such as sepsis.

Before joining UCL, I completed a BSc in Biomedical Sciences and an MSc in Digital Health at the University of Bristol. My background in physiology and pharmacology initially sparked my interest in understanding the biological mechanisms underlying disease, while my master’s introduced me to the potential of digital health technologies for improving disease monitoring. For my master’s project, I explored the development of a wearable sweat sensor for continuous inflammatory biomarker monitoring, which led to my current interest in biosensing and wearable diagnostics.

My current research combines biosensor development with technologies such as microfluidics to explore how inflammatory biomarkers can be collected, detected, and monitored continuously without relying on traditional blood sampling. Working in collaboration with clinicians at UCLH and Johnson & Johnson Immunology, I am investigating the potential clinical applications of these technologies, particularly for conditions in which inflammatory responses can change rapidly. Ultimately, my research aims to support the development of wearable and minimally burdensome technologies that enable earlier detection and more personalised monitoring of inflammatory disease.

Outside of academia, I enjoy hiking, surfing, skiing, and playing the violin in symphony orchestras.
