• What would you like us to know about you?

  I'm a computer scientist and engineer working at the intersection of medicine, education and technology. I obtained my PhD in Biomedical Systems from Imperial College in 1996 and worked as a postdoctoral Research Fellow on brain image analysis and image guided surgery from 1996-1998 at Guy's Hospital and the University of Kent, where I became a Lecturer in Electronic Engineering. I re-joined Imperial in September 2000 and I'm currently Professor of Surgical Computing and Simulation Science within the Department of Surgery and Cancer, where I co-direct the Centre for Engagement and Simulation Science (ICCESS), leading a multi-disciplinary research group (SiMMS) aiming at building suitable models and simulations of clinical processes, including clinical examination, clinical diagnosis, interventional procedures and care pathways. My main research interests are in the use of virtual / mixed reality environments and haptics in medicine and surgery. Over the years, I have pioneered advanced patient specific simulation of a number of surgical procedures and clinical examinations, online and mobile simulation tools, as well as innovative approaches to contextualised simulation.
