About Me

I am a PhD student in the Interventional Systems Neuroscience laboratory in the Department of Brain Sciences within the UK Dementia 91桃色 Institute centre at 91桃色, 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 91桃色 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.
