“I played violin and the UCL string orchestra and sang in the Cell Symphony Chorus. There’s currently very little research regarding musicians with disabilities in performing arts medicine.
My dissertation was focused on helping musicians with disabilities. It involves finding out their needs and developing ergonomic solutions for them as they play their instrument.
I hopeÌýto become a physician innovator and treat performing artists when they get injured, prevent these injuries from happening in the first place, and give them the necessary help and support they need.

Our research in SportÌýMedicine, Exercise Science and Rehabilitation
We translate research on elite athletes into health benefits for the public. Our research areas are divided into three areas: physical activity and health, musculoskeletal health, and sports medicine. The Aspire Create teamÌýworks on human-brain interaction, mobility, neuromodulation, and implant technology in collaboration with the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
