RESEARCH

I study how different regions of the human brain - particularly the cerebellum - support complex behaviours. My research focuses on the cerebellum’s causal role in cognitive functions, such as social processing. To investigate this, I combine neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, MRS), non-invasive brain stimulation (FUS, tDCS), and computational modelling.

This work builds on the cerebellar atlas we recently developed for precision mapping of functional regions in the individual and a Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging technique we use to measure cerebellar neurochemicals.

EDUCATION

I completed postdoctoral training at the University of Cambridge and at Western University (Canada), supported by a BrainsCAN Fellowship and a CIHR project grant. I hold a PhD (DPhil) from Jesus College, University of Oxford, and a BSc from the University of Heidelberg.

Prospective Students

I supervise research projects at the undergraduate and postgraduate level, including theses and internships. I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD (DPhil) students. If you're interested in working with me, please get in touch via email.
