In my research, I create and apply data analysis tools to extract information from biomedical signals and clinical time series.
My main aim is to reveal the subtle changes that major diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's and epilepsy) cause in the brain activity.
In collaboration with researchers at Edinburgh, across the UK and overseas, I am currently working in the processing and analysis of biomedical signals, particularly human brain activity. By developing and applying signal processing methods, I aim at increasing our understanding of how several brain conditions progress. Of particular interest is the evaluation of brain functional connectivity in both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases to understand how they affect the way in which different brain regions interact with each other. I am also interested in the interplay between structure and function in the brain and in the application of pattern recognition techniques to highly-dimensional clinical datasets to support decision making. Finally, I also work in the development of non-invasive methods for rehabilitation purposes, being either the dexterous controls prostheses for amputees or brain-computer interfaces.

I am interested in all forms of brain imaging, primarily structural MRI, and currently working on multicentre, normative brain imaging and stroke.

Neuroinflammation is a common factor in a variety of neurological disorders, including dementia. Thanks to molecular imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), the extent of neuroinflammation can be detected in vivo, assisting with diagnosis and monitoring of the disease, as well as benefiting the preclinical research. During my PhD project, I will be studying 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO) as a biomarker for neuroinflammation and validating the use of novel TSPO radiotracers to image dementia-associated neuroinflammation in preclinical dementia models. In addition, I will assess the cellular distribution of TSPO in the brain under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
