Dr Sabeethan Kanagasingham

Originally from Sri Lanka, my professional journey includes completing my Bachelors and Masters in Mechatronics and working in research and software engineering in Thailand before moving to the UK. I bring significant industrial experience to my research, having previously led engineering teams in developing automated optical inspection software and high-precision sensing technologies.

Currently, I am a Research Associate for the RESHAPE-CARE program, a major NIHR-funded collaboration between the Universities of Sheffield and Manchester. In this role, I architect digital twin models for patient and healthcare, designed to personalise care for individuals with multiple long-term conditions. This work involves applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and SysML frameworks to bridge the gap between complex health datasets and predictive, person-centered clinical pathways.
