Characterisation of neuromodulator mechanisms for analgesic effects of transcutaneous spinal stimulation; spinal cord electrophysiology in rats to identify the effects of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) on spinal cord nociceptive neurons, supraspinal modulatory regions, and their descending fibres. Research aims involve identifying the mechanisms underlying the lasting effects of tsDCS on spinal network dynamics in acute and chronic pain models. Chemogenetic manipulations will also be utilised to assess secondary hyperalgesia in an inflammatory arthritis model.

Neurofeedback

I am a master’s student in Physical Therapy, deeply passionate about understanding pain in all its forms and causes. My interest has led me to study the mechanisms of traumatic and chronic pain, particularly lower back pain, which significantly affects daily life. I focus on applying Pain Neuroscience Education to empower patients, reduce disability, and decrease fear of movement. My goal is to integrate scientific knowledge with clinical practice to improve patient outcomes and promote evidence-based rehabilitation.

Invasive brain or spinal stimulation
Peripheral stimulation

My main research area focuses on physical therapy, specifically on evaluating and developing interventions to improve functional mobility, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life for patients with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. I am particularly interested in evidence-based rehabilitation strategies, patient-centered care, and the role of exercise therapy in recovery. My research aims to integrate clinical practice with scientific insights to optimize outcomes, empower patients, and contribute to the advancement of physiotherapy knowledge and techniques.

Data science and biomarkers

I study the neural mechanisms that underly nociception, central sensitization, pain processing and modulation. I am also interested in understanding the signs and symptoms that accompany many clinical pain states. My approach consists of combining neuroimaging (MRI) with a range of neuromodulation techniques including non-invasive brain stimulation and peripheral stimulation. This work aims to translate research between experimental human studies and clinical science, with a view to identifying new therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics.
