PhD
​
My thesis focused on the experiences and perspectives of people with type 1 diabetes who are using open-source automated insulin delivery systems (AndroidAPS, OpenAPS and Loop). I have previously worked on research projects focused on the mental health and quality of life of people with traumatic brain injuries and epilepsy.

I have written for the ACBRD blog, Farrago and Voices of Academia.
