Summary
I am a Postdoctoral Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London and a Honorary Clinical Psychologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. I also work in a Brain Injury service in London as a Clinical Psychologist, looking after patients with severe acquired brain injuries.
For my PhD research, funded by Imperial College via a President's PhD Scholarship, I have explored novel methods of modulating cognition in stroke patients. Specifically, I have examined the effects of HD non-invasive brain stimulation on attentional deficits following right hemispheric stroke.
