Nasrin is a research fellow in the Centre for Health and Social Care Research (seconded to the University of Sheffield, School of Health and Related Research, ScHARR). She is a physiotherapist by background, completed her Masters in healthcare studies in 1997 and was awarded her PhD from Sheffield Hallam University in 2007.
She joined the Centre in 2008 and is currently involved in the SMART project which examines the potential for technology to support self management of long term conditions by using an interdisciplinary approach driven by mixed-methods design, a hybrid of health and social sciences and user-centred design methods.
Her research experience and interests are quantitative measurement of health outcomes, evaluating longitudinal change and clinically important change over time. She has mainly used qualitative methodologies in her research with particular interest in phenomenology, narrative and discourse and performance analysis of narrative to examine how people understand their experience of illness through verbal accounts and written texts.
Building on her disciplinary research experience, she is now following her interests in the field of interdisciplinary/transdiciplinary research.
