As a Research Associate on the EC-funded Language Technologies for Lifelong Learning project, working across a consortium of 11 partners from academia and industry, I contributed to the development and evaluation of innovative AI-driven tools designed to support personalised and adaptive learning in healthcare. My role focused on exploring how natural language processing and machine learning could enhance learner engagement, feedback, and progression across diverse educational settings. I led research into user needs, co-designed prototype interventions, and evaluated their effectiveness in supporting reflective practice and skills development. 

This work advanced the application of language technologies in lifelong learning and informed future approaches to the ethical and inclusive use of AI in education and professional development.

At the University of Dundee’s School of Medicine, I led a series of innovation projects that transformed medical education through the use of digital technologies and pedagogical redesign. A key achievement was leading the implementation of Team-Based Learning (TBL) at scale, making Dundee the first UK medical school to deliver the full end-to-end TBL process via mobile devices. This work was recognised with a national award for innovation. I collaborated with academic staff, students, and NHS partners to embed a new digital platform, enhancing engagement, critical thinking, and collaborative learning. Alongside this, I drove curriculum mapping, expanded formative assessment opportunities and supported interprofessional learning. I also developed strategic partnerships with NHS colleagues to align education with evolving clinical practice needs. 

My leadership helped position Dundee as a sector leader in digital and active learning approaches in medical education.

At the University of Leeds School of Medicine, I led and supported a range of educational innovation projects focused on technology-enhanced learning, international collaboration, and industry engagement. I worked in partnership with Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, developing strategic links around the use of augmented and virtual reality in health education. I led collaborative projects with partners including Microsoft, Pearson, and Elsevier to validate emerging mobile-based technologies for learning and assessment. My role at Leeds Institute of Medical Education included advancing digital pedagogy across the curriculum, strengthening faculty development, and aligning medical education initiatives with wider healthcare workforce and innovation priorities. 

These efforts helped position Leeds as a hub for digitally enabled, globally connected medical education.
