Research Summary
I am a DPhil student supervised by Prof. Kate Watkins and Prof. Heidi Johansen-Berg. I am a Clarendon Scholar funded by Clarendon Fund and St John's College. I am also a North Senior Scholar at St John's College. My research project investigates the brain's role in supporting speech-motor control. I uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate brain activity and changes in brain function and structure in people who stutter. Also, I uses noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) targeting certain brain areas to enhance speech-motor control.
Beyond my primary research, I also investigate language production in bilinguals using MRI, electroencephalogram (EEG), and NIBS.
I also collaborate with other researchers to study the cerebellum's role in speech and reading.
Apart from my research, I am also on the British Neuroscience Association (BNA) Scholar's programme.
