I am engaged in the study of the intricate relationship between affective disorders and their associated comorbidities, particularly chronic pain. To delve into this complex interplay, I employ a multi-faceted approach. For human subjects, I utilize behavioral tasks and non-invasive imaging methods to unravel the neural and behavioral foundations of these conditions. When working with animal models, I employ in-house developed, customizable polyimide-based flexible electrodes. These specialized tools enable me to gain deeper insights into the neural underpinnings of these disorders.

I am currently reaearching the potential of interrupting the neuro feedback model and implementing peripheral stimulation as a possible cure for chronic pain. By exploring this innovative approach, I aim to understand how it can be utilised to provide relief and improve the overall quality of life for those suffering from persistent pain. With a focus on interrupting neural pathways and stimulating peripheral nerves, this research has the potential to offer alternative solutions for individuals living with chronic pain.
