I am a DPhil student in the FMRIB Analysis Group and the Neuroimaging Analysis for Clinical Translation group, supervised by Ludovica Griffanti and Stephen Smith . My research focuses on multimodal MRI harmonisation, with the aim of improving the comparability and reliability of MRI data and derived imaging measures across scanners, sites, and cohorts. I work on developing and evaluating harmonisation methods using large-scale population data from UK Biobank alongside brain health clinic datasets, with a broader interest in supporting robust neuroimaging analyses for clinical translation.
Before starting my DPhil, I completed an integrated master’s degree in Physics at the University of Nottingham. My master’s thesis focused on mitigating gain errors in triaxial multi-array OPM-MEG sensors. During my degree, I also worked on projects spanning astronomy and planetary physics, nanophysics, and computer vision.
