    Interests

    I am a multidisciplinary researcher in the field of neuroscience, specialising in neuroimaging and computational psychiatry. I work on two main areas: (i) using real-world memory clinic data from the NHS in combination with machine learning methods to develop early markers for dementia detection and prognosis; (ii) investigating hallucinations across psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases with state-of-the-art methods to identify shared brain networks and biomarkers linked to psychosis. Beyond my research, I am an ambassador for the Women Techmakers Initiative powered by Google, where I actively advocate for underrepresented groups, promote open access to coding and AI resources, and foster an inclusive tech community.
