- Profile
-
I studied medicine at Sheffield University, graduating in 2003. Following basic medical training I undertook specialist radiology training on the Hull Radiology training scheme.
I joined the University of Sheffield in 2010 as a NIHR Cardiovascular Clinical Fellow and I was awarded a NIHR Biomedical Research Fellowship to complete my PhD entitled “Developing the Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Pulmonary Hypertension”. I am interested in the use of computer science in medicine to improve diagnosis and prognostication, I was employed by INSIGNEO for 5 years as a research fellow and am now a Wellcome Trust Clinical Career Development Fellow.
- Research interests
-
My research interests include the clinical application of novel imaging techniques and analysis approaches in patients with cardiac and pulmonary disease.
Current projects
- Machine learning to improve disease assessment in cardiac and pulmonary disease.
- Developing MRI as diagnostic and prognostic tool - DITCH.
- Lung subtraction Iodine mapping in patients with suspected chronic emboli - INSITGATE.
- Repeatability of magnetic resonance imaging cardiopulmonary metrics in pulmonary arterial hypertension - Implications for trial design.
