Varied interests within the product development/manufacturing areas, but with a main focus on medical product design. Current research is directed towards designing an instrument that will minimise the risks involved in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction (orthopaedic) operations.

Interested in the design processes and systems design of surgical, pharmaceutical and general products, and to this end have designed and developed various medical products in a variety of areas. Have also produced product documentation/failure documents for various law firms in Melbourne.
