I studied Psychology at the University of Glasgow (MA, 1st) and Neuroimaging at King’s College London (MSc) before completing my PhD in Translational Medicine (Clinical Neuroscience) at the University of Bristol in 2020. I also have a background in clinical trials. Today, research focusses on sleep and health across the lifespan, particularly in how people use digital tools to manage sleep and how data from devices and tools can inform research. 

Since my PhD, I have been leading education in Digital Health at the University of Bristol and in the region. I’m Deputy Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital Health and I previously led our MSc in Digital Health. I’m also Deputy Director of the regional LEAP Digital Health Hub, which brings together universities, health and care organisations and industry across South West England and Wales, and I direct its Skills and Knowledge Programme.

I also lead the Executive and Professional Education Programme for the School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, developing and delivering upskilling in AI, data science, digital health, robotics and fintech for professionals in industry and the public sector.
