Staff Profile

My background is in dentistry with a strong focus on public health and mental health. I joined Newcastle University in March 2022 as a member of the Population Health Sciences Institute working on various projects from both the Ageing and Public Health themes.  

I completed my Bachelors in Dental Surgery from Saveetha Dental College, India in 2019 and Masters in Dental Public Health from University of Dundee in 2021. Prior to working at Newcastle University, I worked on projects involved in improving access to dental health services at University of Dundee.
