Doctoral Trainee
I am a second year PhD student within Open Lab looking into the role that augmented reality can play in the medical field. I will be integrating augmented reality with existing technologies and techniques to speed up or otherwise improve a medical workflow*.* I am also looking into the interaction challenges of AR and how virtual components could be redesigned to enhance interactions.
I completed my bachelors in computer science here at Newcastle University, focussing my final dissertation on the development process of digital twins, during which I built a digital twin of an F1Tenth car as a case study.
When I’m not studying I spend an inordinate amount of time riding my bike through the North Pennines, and as president of the University Cycling Club I enjoy showing new students the routes I have come to love. I also enjoy cooking and experimenting with any new flavour combinations I can find.
