About Me
I am a PhD student in the Interventional Systems Neuroscience laboratory in the Department of Brain Sciences within the UK Dementia Research Institute centre at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, within. My project is focused on optimising and testing a novel therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease using a combination of auditory and Temporal Interference (TI) stimulation during sleep.
My interest in neuroscience and specifically neurodegenerative disorders led me to pursue a BSc in Biomedical Sciences where I was able to develop a greater understanding of the field. During my MSc I completed a Research Project within the Interventional Systems Neuroscience laboratory, where I became particularly interested in therapies targeted at the circuit level for neurodegenerative disorders.
In my free time I enjoy travelling, reading and music.
