Summary
After working at Barnsley District General Hospital NHS for sixteen years, running my own company and then returning to Barnsley Hospital in conjunction with Sheffield University to undertake research in the area of Voice Input Voice Output Communication Aid.
About
I am presently employed in a full time position teaching modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
My areas of research still focus on Electronic Assistive Technology and I have built connections with, Materials and Engineering Research Institutes within the University in order to use robotics. In addition, I have started a relationship with Fountaindale School in Nottingham for severely disabled children.
