I am a PhD researcher at University College London on the Tech4Health CDT, supported by a 4-year studentship co-funded by EPSRC and The National Brain Appeal. My work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, data science and digital health, focusing on visual system vulnerability in dementia. I’m based across the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology (Dementia Research Centre) and the UCL Hawkes Institute, supervised by Dr Keir Yong and Prof Andre Altmann. With a background in data science and statistics, I apply computational and quantitative approaches to neuroscience and healthcare. Outside of research, I’m a keen golfer and enjoy staying active through a variety of sports, from badminton to rock climbing.

My research focuses on visual system vulnerability in dementia - how cortical visual processing is disrupted across the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum and related syndromes. My work combines neuropsychology, multimodal imaging, and genetics to improve early detection of visual-led dementia and to explain why some individuals are especially susceptible to cortical visual impairment. Current projects include developing and validating a rapid digital test of cortical vision, deriving latent “brainsight” measures from UK Biobank behavioural/MRI data, and linking these phenotypes to genetic architecture.

Beyond the core project, I’m interested in:

-        Cortical visual processing and neurodegeneration

-        Genomics and multi-omics

-        Multimodal and representation learning

-        Interpretability and Explainable AI (XAI)

-        Biomedical imaging and computational biology

-        Methodological applications to antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
