Biography
I obtained my BSc and MSc in applied mathematics in Erlangen, Germany and Rennes, France in 2006 and 2011 respectively. After finishing my PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 2014 (non-contrast enhanced MR angiography reconstructions using compressed sensing), I moved to Jo Hajnal’s group at King’s College London in 2014 on the ERC-funded developing Human Connectome Project, mapping emerging brain connectivity by studying 1000 neonates and 500 fetuses. I got awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome postdoctoral fellowship in 2016 on the topic of functional MR imaging of the placenta in growth restricted foetuses and have been working as a Research Fellow on this topic since.
Research
CRAFT: Cerclage after full dilatation caesarean section
An investigation into the role of previous in labour caesarean section in future preterm birth risk and management strategies
Project status: Starting
INSIGHT-2
Mechanistic Studies into Pregnancy Complications and their Impact on Maternal and Child Health
PISA: Prenatal drivers of infant ISlet Autoimmunity
As childhood onset of T1D becomes more prevalent, there is an increasing need to understand how early life exposures could influence the development of the child and predispose to the development of autoimmunity.
News
New scan: more information for obstetricians, better prepares mothers for birth
Collaborative project developing new MRI scan for pregnant women
Researchers develop novel scanning methods to assess high-risk babies' lung development in-vivo
£1million Medical Research Council grant received for work looking into the use of advanced MRI techniques to evaluate fetal lung development during pregnancy
Health of placenta can be predicted in 30 second MRI scan, say researchers
The scan together with the automatic pipeline can easily be included in any fetal MRI examination allowing new information for better treatment & information
School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences researchers organise successful workshop on perinatal and paediatric image analysis
The fifth annual Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image Analysis workshop (PIPPI), founded and co-organised by staff from the School of Biomedical...
