PhD Researcher | Research Design & Evaluation, Statistical Analysis, Grant Writing (InnovateUK) & Literature Reviews

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained researcher with extensive experience delivering applied research, evaluation, and grant-funded projects across academia, industry, and public funding bodies. I specialise in research design, grant strategy and delivery, and clear, evidence-based writing. I have secured and managed projects totalling nearly £600k in Innovate UK funding, working as both Project Manager and Senior Researcher on multi-partner collaborations involving universities, legal firms, and technology companies. My work bridges rigorous academic research and real-world application, translating complex psychological and research methodologies into practical insights that inform product development, technology-led innovation, and evidence-based psychological understanding. I work comfortably in fully remote, asynchronous settings, delivering high-quality outputs to agreed milestones. I support both short-term advisory projects and longer-term research and funding initiatives.
