My Education
Postgraduate
DPhil (PhD) Sustainable Approaches to Biomedical Sciences: Responsible and Reproducible Research
DPhil Description.
A DPhil is the University of Oxford’s name for a PhD (the terms can be used interchangeably)
Thesis title: “Use of smartphones for monitoring of loss of balance in people with Multiple Sclerosis”
I am a student on the SABS:R^3 Centre for Doctoral Training, at the University of Oxford, funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (UKRI EPSRC) and 31 partner companies and non-profits. The programme consists of a cohort-based training phase, followed by rotation projects before starting the full DPhil/PhD project.
Each rotation/PhD project is linked to one or more of the 31 partner organisations, so while based in academia, we work closely with industry. My PhD project is partnered with F. Hoffmann-La Roche.

Alongside working on my thesis: “Use of smartphones for monitoring of loss of balance in people with Multiple Sclerosis”, I have also received formal structured training on the following topics:
UnderGraduate
BEng Biomedical Engineering
Innovative Biomedical engineering undergraduate degree.
This degree was unique as it was an engineering degree, but sat within the School of Biological Sciences, so I could learn and develop skills alongside the Biomedical/Biological sciences students developing a deeper understanding of both life and physical sciences.
For each year of my Undergraduate degree, I was the student who achieved the highest grade on my programme, this was recognised by the awarding of the University of Reading’s “Chancellor’s Award”.
