  • Research Associate at University of East Anglia
    Dec 2022 - Apr 2025 · 2 yrs 5 mos

    I worked with the research team within UEA's medical school to co-author two systematic review studies, both of which have been published in scientific journals. This involved distilling large amounts of information, producing spreadsheets and documents outlining key details, and screening datasets of over 14,000 studies using specific inclusion/exclusion criteria to select relevant studies. I verified the lead researcher's data extraction from selected studies, and carried out citation searches from selected studies. I also performed data extraction on selected studies to provide supplementary information to our study. Our latest paper is a rapid mapping review, currently being evaluated by journals for publication.
