    PhD student

    Interests

    My work focuses on the application of optical neuroimaging (near-infrared spectroscopy and high-density diffuse optical tomography) in dementia to develop biomarkers for early detection and monitoring. As optical neuroimaging has several practical advantages over better-known techniques like Magnetic Resonance Imaging, I am particularly interested in the application of optical neuroimaging outside of traditional clinical settings for widespread diagnostic and research use. I am also interested in the development of new computaional methods to modify optical neuroimaging specifically for use in clinical populations. Outside of my research, I am keen on public enagement and have helped organise two outreach projects at Green Man Festival.
