Project title: Non-invasive deep brain stimulation to modulate brain activity and related function
Supervisor: Dr Nir Grossman
Location: Level 5, Burlington Danes Building, Hammersmith Campus, Du Cane Road, W12 0NN

About me

I am a third year PhD student in the Interventional Systems Neuroscience Lab, within the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London, where I have been working with the team to develop innovative non-invasive neuromodulation methods to alter neural activity and function. Throughout the next three years I will be focusing on the development and translation of a new transcranial deep brain stimulation technique called Temporal Interference (TI) stimulation with the overarching goal of developing new interventions for neurodegeneration and cognitive decline seen in dementia.
