Profile: Evleen is an interdisciplinary researcher spanning Sociology, Anthropology, and Health Services Research. She completed her undergraduate degree in Social Anthropology at the University of Kent in 2017, and her MSc in Global Health and Development at UCL in 2021. Following her master's, she worked at the THIS Institute, University of Cambridge, where she contributed to a range of qualitative health services research projects in NHS contexts. These included research on access to general practice, optimisation of drugs and devices for COPD patients, and the impact of digital scribe technology on clinician time in primary care.

Evleen joined the University of Sheffield in 2025 to begin her doctoral research, which sits within E-IMMUNE, a multi-work-package, interdisciplinary project evaluating whether a digital app designed to track side effects can support safe and effective management of care for immunotherapy cancer patients. Within this project, her research uses mixed-qualitative methods to explore digital exclusion in immunotherapy cancer care.

Qualifications: MSC (Distinction) Global Health and Development, University College London

BA (Hons) (2:1) Social Anthropology with a year in Denmark, University of Kent

Research interests: Evleen's provisional PhD title is "Qualitative study of digital exclusion in immunotherapy cancer care".

Drawing on her interdisciplinary background, her project aims to explore how immunotherapy cancer patients from the E-IMMUNE study use technologies in clinical and home settings, to understand how use and non-use is negotiated, experienced and embedded over time.
