The European Partnership on Animal Health and Welfare (EUP AH&W) research projects that I want to create will study mobility and vital signs monitoring and automated lameness detection and precision animal welfare assessment in livestock systems. My research focuses on developing objective sensor-based methods which use radar technologies and complementary systems to identify early signs of locomotion and physiological changes that result in diminished animal welfare. The area of my research interests lies in developing interdisciplinary partnerships which combine engineering with data science and veterinary medicine and animal behaviour to create better tools for early detection and prevention and farmer decision support.

I seek partners to co-develop proposals aligned with the Animal Welfare and Prevention & Control priorities of EUP AH&W, combining robust methodological design, on-farm validation, and critical evaluation of system reliability and bias to ensure scientific rigour and practical impact.

I am a researcher at the University of Glasgow specialising in animal welfare science, mobility assessment, and automated lameness detection. My research integrates validated welfare scoring protocols with advanced sensing technologies to enhance objectivity and scalability in livestock monitoring systems. I collaborate closely with commercial farms and multidisciplinary teams to ensure that developed technologies are scientifically robust, welfare-oriented, and practically applicable.
