Research

Grounding Innovation in Evidence

I am actively engaged in academic and clinical research with a focus on post mortem imaging (PMCT), forensic radiology, hepatobiliary diagnostics, and health system transformation. My work supports national and international guideline development, informs NHS policy, and brings scientific rigor to death investigation services.
