I received a Graduate Certificate in Psychosocial Studies from Birkbeck College in 2019.

My formal education and research activities began with a keen focus on the biological sciences. After developing expertise in the theoretical and practical aspects of cellular and molecular biology, my interests have developed to include analysis of the ethical, social and political implications of contemporary technoscientific knowledge and practice. For example, I have written about the recent discovery of Ideonella Sakaiensis, a bacterial species that can degrade plastic, and about the socio-environmental implications of endocrine disrupting chemicals released during mining in the Albertan tar sands.

In my recent work I have been researching the history of multiple chemical sensitivity from a materialist - historical perspective, including an analysis of its physiological mechanisms and how they are represented in scientific discourse. This research is taking me into study of the philosophy and history of biology, science and technology studies, and sociology and is complemented by my formal study of psychoanalysis and sociology at Birkbeck College.
