I’m a mechanical and biomedical engineer building computational tools at the intersection of fluid dynamics, machine learning, and clinical medicine.
Currently pursuing my MSc in Computational Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London, where my dissertation develops physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to provide real-time haemodynamic risk assessment for intracranial aneurysms — work that could replace multi-hour CFD pipelines with sub-second AI inference.
Before Imperial, I graduated with a First-Class BEng in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Manchester (80% overall), where my dissertation on patient-specific CFD of intracranial aneurysms — supervised by Dr. Amir Keshmiri — earned a 91% grade and is currently under review at Scientific Reports.
Beyond the lab, I’m the co-founder of VIMA, an assistive technology venture building haptic-feedback navigation handles for visually impaired users, which secured £10,000+ in competitive funding. I’ve also held leadership roles in the Mechanical Engineering Society (1,200+ members), served as Peer Mentor Student Coordinator (200+ mentees), co-founded the Solar Car Society, and led structural engineering for the Hyperloop Manchester team.
When I’m not in the lab, I shoot analog film — some frames are in the Analog Archive.
