Hello, and welcome to my site. I’m a trained engineer with an interest in how physiological systems mechanically interact and how these interactions determine function and system evolution. I’m in the final stages of a dissertation that examines the mechanics and function of the lateral line system, a fluid flow detection organ found in most aquatic vertebrates. Through my academic training I’ve become highly knowledgeable in general physiology, fluid dynamics, and I’m considered a world expert in the physics of mechanical sensory systems. My training includes a vast breadth of valuable skills in both biology and engineering, including a wide range of microscopy techniques, mathematical modelling, data processing, and the design and prototyping of mechanical and electronic components. I’ve given numerous presentations at national and international meetings and have three manuscripts in print and two in preparation.

I am currently in search of exciting opportunities in research and development within the medical device and scientific instrumentation fields. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my work or future ambitions.
