A sociologist by background, my work has primarily focused on the intersections of health and gender. Previous work has focused on young fatherthood, the health of construction workers and men's health. I utilise qualitative approches- including digital and visual methods- within my research to understand lived experiences. 

My main areas of interest are around amputation and male infertility. I am currently an NIHR Advanced Fellowship holder (2020-2024) working to improve patient preparation for amputation surgery. I am also interested in the disposal of limbs after amputation and patient choice within those processes. I have conducted extensive work on male infertility, including the first National Qualitative Questionnaire study of men's experiences of fertility issues. My work has a strong applied focus and I work closely with third sector organisations, healthcare professionals and patients and the public.
