I’m a Chartered Control Engineer, I live and work in Bristol. I practice & compete in a number of martial arts and also enjoy a bit of nature.
I have a keen eye on interdisciplinary type research with the sole purpose of bringing imagination to life with the aid of cutting edge technologies-for enhanced human living conditions.
I’m also of the strong opinion that Ninja Storm is the best Power Rangers season ever made! 🙂

My Work
Researcher in Prosthetic Control
-
Read more
I work as a Researcher at Bristol University on an interdisciplinary project themed towards Upper-limb Prosthetic Control for Trans-radial amputees.The project is also supported by a Clinician who specialises in Muscoskeletal interventions and the Bristol Clinical Imaging facilities.
My focus here is to use non-invasive wearable sensors to acquire physiological signals from the residual muscle of an amputated individual and apply signal processing techniques to convert this into a control signal for an artificial limb.

My Typical Day: Experimentation,Reading & Writing
-
Read more
The day typically begins with a cuppa tea and some stimulating reading and even a quick game of online chess to warm my brain up and get my neurons firing ahead of the day. Shortly after this i’d be in the lab-working on an experiment/data collection(either on a benchtop scale/clinical setting). If I haven’t got any meetings scheduled, the day typically ends with a summary session where I pen down noteworthy bits and bobs.

What I'd do with the money
A collaborative live demo to show how wearable sensors can tell us what happens inside our body
-
Read more
A collaborative outreach event with my colleagues from the Institute Of Engineering and Technology(IET), to showcase the process of how wearable sensors can monitor physiological and vital signs of our bodies. The purpose here is to showcase the impact of cross-disciplinary work of how the principles of Engineering/Physics+Maths can be used to monitor and explain human biological/Medical phenomena without the need for an invasive approach.
