He completed a Commonwealth Government-supported PhD in vascular surgery at The University of Melbourne under the mentorship of Professor Alun Davies and Professor Peter Choong. His doctoral research focused on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life after vascular surgery, work that supports tailoring treatment to the outcomes that patients value, and has been published in international medicine and surgery journals, including Circulation and Annals of Surgery.
