About

I am a fourth-year medical student at King’s College London with an academic interest in surgical research, surgical education, and technology-enabled training. I am particularly interested in methods that allow robust, objective assessment of technical performance and learning curves in robotic surgery.

My work includes evidence synthesis in workforce wellbeing and robotic training, and I am keen to contribute to projects that translate methodological rigour into practical improvements in training and service sustainability.

Research focus

  • Robotic surgical skill acquisition and objective performance assessment
  • Simulation-based training and cross-platform skill transferability
  • Evidence synthesis (systematic reviews, meta-analysis)
  • Clinician wellbeing and workforce sustainability in surgery
