Personal profile

Biography

At the Australian National University, I have taught Electronics courses to first, second and third-year undergraduates. I currently teach power electronics, systems engineering and professional practice. I enjoy helping students bridge the gap between theory and practice. I’ve been fortunate to receive awards for my teaching and to have played a leadership role in the profession as a Chartered Engineer, Past President of Engineers Australia Canberra Division, and Fellow of the College of Biomedical Engineers.

I’m an electrical engineer, academic and founder working at the intersection of healthcare and technology. As CEO and Co-Founder of Viortec, I lead a team developing smart orthopaedic technologies that support surgeons in the operating theatre. Our work focuses on real-time, intraoperative kinematic and kinetic data collection and feedback, aiming to improve surgical precision and ultimately, patient outcomes.

 

Qualifications

PhD , B.Eng Elect (Hons), FIEAust, B Sp&ExSc (Hons), GradCert HealthRsch, GradCert Human movement

Research Interests

My research began with a focus on ACL injuries in women’s sport and evolved into exploring knee biomechanics and osteoarthritis. My PhD investigated in vivo knee kinematics using 3D/2D medical image registration, leading to the first predictive model of osteoarthritis severity based on joint motion.

Currently, my team is measuring patellofemoral motion during surgery using navigation technology. This work supports the design of real-time decision-support tools for surgeons and has direct application in the development of the next generation of surgical devices.

I have recently been working on developing predictive models of knee osteoarthritis aimed at providing an 'early warning system' that can identify the signs of early knee osteoarthritis.
