Research Expertise

Research Interests

I am a research officer at Massey AgriFood Digital Lab. I am soon to be PhD graduate in Physics with expertise in the biomedical application of novel imaging techniques, system development and data analysis. I am passionate about creating new ways to help solve biomedical and industrial problems. My PhD research focused on developing an all-optical experimental method for probing the viscoelastic properties of vitreous humour in an eye. Therefore, I have experinece  not only in building optical system, but also in analysing mechaical properties of different samples.
