My overarching aim is to revolutionise and optimise breathing in real-time using AI and machine learning.
Fellow of The Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund (SYLFF), Tokyo. Carrying out the first ever doctoral research - and the only PhD - funded by this institution in the UK. Sylff is a collaborative initiative of The Nippon Foundation and The Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research, and a global fellowship programme aimed at nurturing leaders who will initiate action to transcend differences and address issues confronting contemporary society. Endowments at institutions of higher learning serve as sustainable sources of fellowships that support the education of outstanding students with high potential for leadership.
My research is titled "Breathing in the era of Covid-19: Exploring the effects of breathwork on health & well-being”. It is being completed at the University of Sussex and involves collaboration with The Breath-Body-Mind Foundation and the University of Oxford. I am also working with the Brighton and Sussex Medical School who are exploring the psychedelic and physiological effects of therapeutic breathwork via neuroimaging techniques like MRI and other approaches such as ECG. Ultimately, I hope my work can help build a larger evidence-based picture of the psychophysiological effects (and potential effectiveness) of breathwork.

Passionate about moving Public Science and Health Education forward, with a growing interest in psychedelic research and the potential of therapeutic breathwork. On the road to recovery from CFS.
