About Me

I am a Neonatal Paediatrician with extensive experience in neonatal intensive care, neonatal
airway management, and infant development. My expertise includes managing critically ill
newborns, improving neonatal growth and development, and conducting research to enhance
neonatal care practices.

Professional Background

I completed my foundational paediatric training at the prestigious All India Institute of
Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. I pursued advanced training in Neonatal-Perinatal
Medicine through the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (Paediatrics and Child Health
Division), earning my fellowship in 2013. Furthermore, I hold a Master of Philosophy
(MPhil) from the University of Sydney, where my research focused on improving safety in
neonatal airway access (endotracheal intubation) for newborns.

Key Roles

  • Staff Specialist Neonatologist, Westmead Hospital NICU – Providing care for critically ill newborns in a busy neonatal intensive care unit and overseeing their growth and development as outpatients.
  • Researcher in Neonatal Medicine – Focused on neonatal thermoregulation, neonatal near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and its link to preterm infant development, and bone health in preterm infants.

Special Interests

I am passionate about optimising neonatal care through research and evidence-based
practices. My key areas of interest include neonatal growth and development,
thermoregulation in newborns, and improving outcomes for preterm infants.

 

I provide care for infants under 12 months of age.
