Research

I am a postdoctoral research scientist in the Bottomley Group at the CAMS Oxford Institute, Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford. My research focuses on spatial transcriptomics and the organismal and local factors that drive effective peripheral immunity.

Before Oxford, I completed my PhD at Ariel University, where my work spanned cell biology and molecular imaging. My publication record covers cytoskeletal dynamics, dermatological immunology, and transcriptomic profiling across multiple model systems.

Why I Built Academic SEO

As a working researcher, I have experienced the problem first-hand: papers that represent months or years of work go unread because they are not discoverable. The academic publishing system rewards discoverability, yet most researchers receive no training in how search engines, indexing services, or AI tools surface and rank their work.

I built Academic SEO to close that gap. The service applies evidence-based optimisation techniques to titles, abstracts, keywords, metadata, and plain-language summaries so that your work reaches the researchers and AI systems that should find it. Every recommendation is grounded in published research on academic search behaviour and information retrieval.

This is not marketing. It is post-writing, pre-submission discoverability engineering for research papers. I work exclusively with researchers in biology and medicine, and I treat every manuscript as confidential.
