Personal information
Biography
I completed a BE (Hons) in mechanical engineering, following which I completed a masters degree in engineering analysing the technology used to measure and mitigate head impacts in rugby, both at the University of Canterbury, NZ. As someone who loves sports, health, and biomechanics, I was lucky enough to be offered a PhD project in this area, again through mechanical engineering at UC. My PhD work aims to better understand the biomechanics of brain injury in sports and the role headgear could play in reducing the incidence of traumatic brain injury.
Now, I’m expanding my skillset to implement statistical methods and machine learning technology to better understand the relation of on-field impacts to those in the lab.
