Aliyah completed her BSc in Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Science before progressing to a PhD in Pharmaceutical Biomaterial Engineering, with a focus on the development of biomaterials and regenerative medicine. She is currently a visiting researcher within the Pharmaceutical Technologies Research Group, led by Professor Zeeshan Ahmad at De Montfort University, where she also completed both her undergraduate and doctoral studies.

Following her PhD, Aliyah worked as a postdoctoral researcher, contributing to teaching across the MSc in Quality by Design, MPharm, and BSc Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Science programmes. During her doctoral studies, she became involved with the Electrohydrodynamic Atomisation (EHDA) Network, deepening her engagement as a postdoc through participation in meetings aimed at bridging the gap between academia and industry to support the advancement of emerging technologies.

Aliyah has recently joined the School of Pharmacy, where she currently teaches pharmaceutics and tissue engineering across the MPharm programme. She has published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and continues to collaborate on research publications, with a focus on communicating innovations in pharmaceutical engineering and drug delivery systems.
