My academic and research interests focus on lower limb biomechanics, plantar pressure analysis, and the prevention and management of complications affecting the foot in high-risk populations. A key area of my work explores the role of in-shoe microclimate, particularly temperature and humidity, in the development of tissue damage, and how these parameters can be monitored to support early detection and intervention. I have a strong interest in the integration of health technologies within clinical practice, including the development of innovative in-shoe monitoring systems and data-driven approaches to patient care. My research has been supported through national and international funding schemes and has contributed to advancements in remote monitoring and preventive healthcare. Alongside my research, I am actively involved in teaching within the Faculty of Health Sciences, with a focus on biomechanics, orthotic intervention, and research methods. I am committed to promoting clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice among students, and I contribute to research governance and ethics through my role as Chair of the Faculty Research Ethics Committee
