Biography:
I’m a PhD student in the Centre of Oral Bioengineering at the Institute of Dentistry (Queen Mary University of London, England, UK), currently researching 3D Printing Teeth using X-Ray Microtomography for pre-clinical training. The project aims to look at techniques in 3D printing artificial teeth with similar mechanical and physical properties to extracted, for pre-clinical training, using data collected from X-ray microtomography (micro-CT). I originally graduated from Swansea University (Wales, UK) where I undertook both a Bachelor’s in Medical Studies and Humanities (2014) and a Master’s in Nanomedicine (2015). My research interests include (but not limited to); additive manufacturing, material engineering, imaging, computer modelling, dental education, regenerative medicine, and nanotechnology.
