His MPhil research focused on the inflammatory and immune profiles of skin cancers, conducted at the UQ Translational Research Institute under the supervision of Professor H. Peter Soyer, a renowned expert in dermatological research. His work has been presented at national and international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.
