I work in the Pain and Averse Learning lab under Prof. Ben Seymour on computational models for the neurological mechanisms of tonic pain, and modulating these mechanisms via neurostimulation (primarily non-invasive, eg. TUS and TMS) for clinical use.

My main research area focuses on the study and management of chronic musculoskeletal pain within the field of physiotherapy. Currently, we are conducting comprehensive evaluations using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) to gain deeper insights into the neural correlates of chronic pain. Additionally, we are integrating Virtual Reality as an innovative therapeutic tool to enhance pain management strategies. Our research aims to develop advanced, evidence-based interventions that improve outcomes for patients suffering from chronic pain conditions.

My PhD thesis project focuses on non-invasive brain stimulation for treating Chronic Low Back Pain. Specifically, I am conducting a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to evaluate the effects of an active physiotherapy program combined with transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Pain, Resting State EEG activity, and an EMG biomarker: the Flexion Relaxation Phenomenon. Then we would also like to determine different low back pain phenotypes.
