Staff Profile

I graduated in 2009 with a BSc Hons. in Information Systems at Newcastle University. Subsequently I attained a MPhil in Computing Science at Newcastle University in 2012.

I completed my PhD in 2017 under the supervision of Professor Aad Van Moorsel undertaking the development and evaluation of creating a Workflow based modelling language to model risk communication and decision-making scenarios.

As part of my PhD, I was involved in the following projects:

• Development of a structured risk commutation tool for MAPPA meetings for Northumbria Community Rehabilitation Company.

My previous work as a Research Associate has included working on various projects including:
