I am an Associate Professor based in the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. I lead the Oosterbeek Lab, where my research spans a broad range of challenges across metamaterials and additive manufacturing for medical and sustainability applications. I am also a Tutorial Fellow at Lincoln College, where I teach a range of topics across mechanics and materials.
Prior to joining Oxford I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Imperial College London, working on additively manufactured metallic lattice materials for orthopaedic implants. I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge (Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, and Trinity College) thanks to a Woolf Fisher Scholarship (NZ), focusing on bioresorbable polymer-glass composites for cardiac stents. Originally from New Zealand, I obtained BE(Hons) and ME degrees in Chemical and Materials Engineering from the University of Auckland.
