Interdisciplinary trauma‑systems researcher & health‑AI advisor

I am an Associate Professor at King’s University College, Western University (London, Ontario). I hold a PhD from the University of Leeds. I have written and published widely across peace studies, trauma systems, diagnostic safety, health AI, and human experience.

My work focuses on how systems shape human experience, especially in moments of uncertainty, trauma, and care. I study what happens to people inside complex systems, and how harm emerges not only from events but from processes, structures, and the spaces in between.

My research is grounded in lived experience. I pay close attention to how people move through systems, how uncertainty feels from the inside, and how harm accumulates long before anyone names it. These observations shape the questions I ask and the frameworks I build. They remind me that research is never abstract; it is always connected to real people navigating real moments of vulnerability.

Alongside my academic work, I write fiction that explores similar themes of systems, care, and human experience. My novel When the Heart Stops reflects the same interest in how people navigate rupture, uncertainty, and meaning.
