My main research interests are hospital acoustics and soundscape design. Prior to the completion of my PhD in Sheffield, I obtained my first degree and MEng from Chongqing University, China. I have been working for Sheffield Teaching Hospitals as a Hon Research Investigator since 2008. I am also the Chief Investigator for a portfolio study of UK Clinical Research Network, and the Co-investigator of a NIHR funded research project, investigating the sound environment in NHS hospitals.
