Interests:
My PhD Research: Normative Modelling of Resting-State EEG Across the Lifespan for Application in the Early Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Disorders, Including Alzheimer’s Disease.
Research Themes:
We aim to:
- Make early diagnosis possible, based on rich biological and social data
- Identify novel biomarkers, useful for the development of new therapeutic interventions
- Improve the accuracy and precision of normative modelling by making our models open-source
- Advance EEG normative modelling by facilitating research into other disorders
Software Expertise:
Through my doctoral research (supervisors: Dr Christopher Benwell and Dr Christian Keitel), I am gaining extensive experience in coding and computational modelling (MATLAB and Python). I also undertook an optional MSc module (Advanced Quantitative Methods) in the first year of my PhD, where I learned JASP and G*Power.
During my MSc in Applied Neuroscience (supervisor: Dr Tom Gilbertson), I used MATLAB and Python to investigate the relationship between apathy in Parkinson’s disease and explore-exploit decisions. Additionally, I learned how to use R Studio in two of the taught modules of my MSc.
My BSc Honours in Psychology research (supervisor: Dr Christopher O’Donnell) on cognitive decline involved creating an online experiment using OpenSesame and Audacity, and I conducted statistical analysis in SPSS.
Collaborators:
I am delighted to be collaborating with Mrs Mihaela Lyutskanova, Dr Tom Gilbertson, Professor Douglas Steele, Dr Christian Keitel, and Dr Christopher Benwell.
