I have completed my PhD in the Department of Chemical Engineering. The overarching aim of my research is to carry out computational investigations to model the flow of blood through the aortic arch and analyse the response of the fluid flow and vessel walls to different endograft designs following thoracic endovascular aortic repair. This study aims not only to evaluate and help optimise novel endograft designs.

I carried out my undergraduate studies in Biomedical Engineering at Queen Mary University of London before moving to Imperial College to pursue a postgraduate degree in the same field. Throughout my time at university, I developed an interest in fluid dynamics and cardiovascular mechanics and carried out individual research projects using computational methods to investigate biological flows.

Biography

Research Interests

My interests lie in cardiovascular mechanics, biological fluid mechanics and medical imaging; I am fascinated by the use of computational methods to investigate fluid behaviour and its clinical applications.  My current research involves the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate the flow of blood in the aortic arch and its response to varying endograft designs.
