Biography

After working as an Electrical Engineer in the telecommunications industry, I have combined my passion for Taekwondo and practical science to use my analytical skills in the field of clinical biomechanics, studying knee kinematics using medical imaging. I am currently working with a multidisciplinary team, made up of orthopeadeic surgons, physiotherapists, biomechanists and electric engineers, to understand healthy and diseased knee motion, with the aim to keep joints healthy for longer, and to better manage injuries.

I am also working to develop a predictive model of knee osteoarthritis using machine learning at the Trauma and Orthopaedic Unit at the Canberra Hospital.
