I am a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Therapy at Bournemouth University and a doctoral researcher in Sport and Exercise Medicine at the University of Essex. With a strong academic and clinical foundation in physiotherapy, my work bridges the gap between rehabilitation science, neuroscience, and athletic performance.

I began my career in India, where I trained as a physiotherapist and later specialised in neurosciences during my Master’s degree. My early clinical experience spans a wide range of settings, including neurorehabilitation, musculoskeletal practice, and sports injury management, where I worked extensively with patients across the lifespan. This hands-on background continues to inform my research and teaching philosophy, ensuring a strong emphasis on evidence-based, patient-centred care.

My doctoral research focuses on brain neuroplasticity following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, with a particular interest in understanding corticospinal and neuromuscular adaptations after injury... My work contributes to advancing knowledge on how the central and peripheral nervous systems interact in recovery, with the aim of improving rehabilitation strategies and long-term outcomes for physically active individuals.

Alongside my research, I have developed a growing portfolio of peer-reviewed publications in areas such as neuromuscular function, sports injuries, and neurological rehabilitation. I have also presented my work at national and international conferences, reflecting my active engagement with the global research community.

At Bournemouth University, I am committed to delivering high-quality teaching that integrates clinical expertise with current research. I am passionate about mentoring students, fostering critical thinking, and preparing future practitioners for the evolving demands of sport and exercise therapy.
