Currently, I am a trial manager on a UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship Project, where I am responsible for planning and running EEG-based BCI research trials – which primarily includes trials with patients who have prolonged disorders of consciousness and/or physical impairments resulting from injury or disease. My main area of research has a focus on brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies.

Using virtual reality to understand how body representation is distorted in chronic pain and also how VR can be used to rehabilitate and alter body perception to decrease pain.

I study the spinal and supraspinal neural control of dynamic movements, and the impact of pain, stress or anxiety, and musculoskeletal or neurological disorders on this control. To do this I use techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, surface electromyography (including high-density arrays), intramuscular electromyography, peripheral nerve stimulation and motion capture.

My background is in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation, neuroimaging and somatosensory psychophysics to explore sensory processing in health and disease. I am a more recent convert to using these techniques to explore how best to modulate chronic and neuropathic pain.

Investigating an online sleep intervention in a chronic widespread pain/fibromyalgia population, with particular focus on physical activity and motor performance using a range of novel online tools and games.

I am an early-career multidisciplinary researcher, presently employed as a clinical machine learning researcher at the University of Oxford. My research primarily centres around electronic healthcare records and secondary care data. During my doctoral studies, I concentrated on visual knowledge transformation, while my current postdoctoral work is centred on developing survival-aware machine learning techniques for healthcare applications
