About
INNOVATOR | LEADER | CHANGEMAKER IN INTERDISCIPLINARY BUSINESS ANALYTICS & DATA SCIENCE
With a PhD in theoretical physics, I am a highly experienced scientist working at the interface of applied mathematics, theoretical physics and data science, bespoke expertise repurposed into Business Analytics & Sustainability. I have over 25 years of cutting-edge research and scientific leadership in the UK, Germany, Italy, Ireland & India through successful PhD supervision (7), project leadership (20+), teaching leadership (SFHEA mentorship), outreach leadership (IMA & Nuffield-NHS), renowned for pioneering mathematics and AI-driven real-life centric interdisciplinary modelling across healthcare analytics, supply chains, low-carbon sustainability, econometrics, and nanoengineering. As the first non-European Marie Curie physicist, I have set global benchmarks in research excellence with over 80 peer-reviewed high impact publications like Nature, PloS, APS, over £10 million competitive grants, and building high-performing, multidisciplinary teams that redefine innovation in Healthcare Analytics, Engineering Sciences and Sustainability.
