I am a Research Associate within the ICOS group of the School of Computing Science. I am based mainly in the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology (CBCB) for my wet-lab work, supervised by Prof. Anil Wipat. I was previously a PhD student of Dr. Phillip Aldridge and Dr. Colin Gilliespie (Newcastle University) for my thesis "The Abundance and Localisation of Flagella in Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli". This combined the development of a continuous culture experimental system, fluorescence microscopy and image analysis. I have also worked at a post-doctoral level in the medical diagnostics industry.
