I am a Liverpool based PhD researcher at The Inclusionaries Lab for Inclusive Design and Human-centred Innovation. I have a background in Product Design Engineering with an M.Eng from the Glasgow School of Art and the University of Glasgow. My masters project, involved working closely with maxillofacial treatment providers to design a recovery device which improves patient experience following orthognathic surgery. I have also spent time in Istanbul working on emerging orthodontic technologies related to digital dentistry and telemedicine.
My current PhD research, funded by Doctoral Training Network in Technologies for Healthy Ageing, focuses on inclusive design for future oral health scenarios by adopting a lifespan and psychosocial design approach, investigating extreme and mainstream oral health pathways. I am interested in looking at oral healthcare with a human-centred focus; specifically understanding the factors (physical and psychosocial) which influence patient experience, access to, and quality of dental care.
