As a biomechanical engineer specialising in computational modelling, I develop advanced finite element and multiscale models that bridge engineering and medicine to improve musculoskeletal healthcare. My expertise lies in creating patient-specific simulations from CT and MRI data to predict tissue behaviour, surgical outcomes, and implant performance.

I engineer detailed computational models of the spine, ankle, hip, femur, joints and soft tissues, incorporating realistic loading conditions and advanced material properties to investigate clinical conditions such as degenerative cervical myelopathy, hip dysplasia, ankle arthritis, and osteoporotic fractures. These models enable in-silico testing of surgical procedures and therapeutic interventions, supporting clinicians in planning and outcome assessment.

My research explores orthopedic implant design, ankle biomechanics, and failure mechanisms, where I have developed and validated computational frameworks to optimise implant geometry, material choice, and fixation methods. I created an open-source finite element ankle model for surgical evaluation and co-invented a patented ankle prosthesis that advances treatment options for patients with joint degeneration.

Similarly, I design and analyse therapeutic and regenerative devices, from bone tissue scaffolds to fracture fixation systems, working closely with surgeons, engineers, and industry partners. My long-term goal is to advance next-generation orthopedic implants and personalised therapeutic solutions that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

I am fascinated by computational biomechanics, particularly the use of medical imaging (CT and MRI), segmentation, and modelling to create accurate, patient-specific finite element models of bones, joints, and soft tissues. I am actively involved in investigating spinal biomechanics, surgical outcomes in degenerative cervical myelopathy, and the comparative performance of orthopedic interventions such as ankle fusion and total ankle replacement. I am also studying bone remodeling, joint degeneration, and implant failure mechanisms to improve clinical outcomes and device longevity.

Through the years I have contributed to the design, development, and analysis of advanced orthopedic implants and therapeutic devices, in collaboration with leading national and international universities, clinicians, and industry partners.
