I have been serving as a Consultant Radiologist at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) since January 2018, with a subspeciality interest in heart and lung imaging in adults. Since 2024, I have also held the position of Affiliated Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Cambridge.

In 2017, I was awarded a PhD following a successful research collaboration with Thoraxklinik at Heidelberg University Hospital, Germany. I obtained my European Board of Cardiovascular Radiology (EBCR) diploma from the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology in 2018, and I received several awards from the European Society of Radiology.
