- Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow
- Head of Diffusion Analysis, FMRIB
- Lecturer in Engineering and Senior Research Fellow, St Hilda's College
Broadly, our goal is to achieve a better understanding of the structural and functional organisation of the brain at a systems level. My lab’s current research interests include:
- mathematical modelling of diffusion weighted MR
- comparisons of in-vivo, ex-vivo, and histological techniques in humans and non-human primates
- human-macaque comparative anatomy
- microstructure modelling with novel MR pulse sequences
- models of individual variation in brain function
- dynamic (incl. diffusion) MR spectroscopy analysis
- brain connectivity modelling
