Summary
I am an NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Neurology. My research uses multimodal methods to assess outcomes and treatments for the consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). My most recent projects have used novel combined brain stimulation-brain imaging techniques to investigate the potential for brain stimulation as a treatment for cognitive deficits are TBI. I am currently working on characterising aggression and emotional lability after TBI, particularly with regards to its links with post-TBI autonomic dysfunction. I am also interested in using wearable technology and remote monitoring, combined with machine learning techniques, to understand the daily impact of emotional dysfunction after TBI.
I also enjoy my teaching and science outreach activities, and one of my other roles is as a Trustee for Headway West London, a charity for survivors of brain injury.
