Biography

Research worker/PhD student on the BIPP study (Brain, Immunity and Psychopathology following Very Preterm Birth study).  

I have a Neuroscience (BSc) and Psychiatric Research (MSc) background. I am particularly interested in identifying predictive biomarkers of mental health outcomes and trajectories using neuroimaging and machine learning approaches.  

Research Interests

• Investigating underlying functional connectivity alterations associated with socio-emotional difficulties following very preterm birth 
• Identifying distinct behavioural and neurobiological subgroups of preterm children using machine learning clustering analyses in order to parse heterogeneity not captured by diagnosis driven labels.
