Category: Cohort 3

Originally from Lincolnshire, I moved to Sheffield to study Sports Technology (BSc). Following which I worked as a designer in the automotive industry for 8 years before returning to complete an MSc in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nottingham. I am now excited to get stuck into my PhD research here at the CDT!

My project is on the evaluation of adjustable lower limb prosthetic socket approaches through functional property relationships of the design, adjustment and residuum limb. My Supervisors are Dave Howard and Sam Curtin.

My hobbies are Cycling, climbing and Hockey, also enjoy going to see live music.

I am Eunice Kombe. A Tanzanian born in Kenya but raised in Tanzania. I did an undergraduate in P&O at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College (KCMUCo) in Tanzania, a postgraduate in P&O at Strathclyde. I have been teaching P&O at KCMUCo for the past 7 years. My ultimate career goal is to help change (even slightly) the narrative surrounding disability in developing  countries through teaching. I love travelling (especially to beaches in Zanzibar), dancing and reading novels (fiction and non fiction). Excited to begin my PhD journey at Salford.
