Lecturer in Anatomy

I am an Anatomy Lecturer for MBChB Medicine in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing. I am also Year 2 Academic Lead for our medical students.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Anatomy and Human Biology from the University of Liverpool, and a master's in Human Anatomy and Evolution from Hull York Medical School.



Teaching and supervision

I am part of the Anatomy Team, and teach anatomy to students throughout the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing, although I primarily teach medical students.

Throughout my time at university, I gained valuable experience working with human tissues, both through examination of prosections and dissection projects.

I am truly passionate about anatomy and anatomical teaching, and will always aim to make my love for the subject as infectious as possible.

Research interests for potential research students

I am particularly interested in comparative and evolutionary anatomy. Both my undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations focused on bone structure as an indicator of locomotor capabilities in hominins.

Research

My academic research interests primarily relate to human evolutionary and comparative anatomy. I am keen to understand the selective pressures and processes behind the evolution of the human form from our primate ancestors.

I am a member of The Anatomical Society, and hold a Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
