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’m currently a postdoc at UCLA researching the effects of TMS on smoking cessation and investigating how TMS alters the brain to achieve behavioral changes using resting state fMRI. I plan to apply this knowledge to research migraines and opioid substance use disorders.

I am a Registered Nurse and Midwife interested in chronic disease management, especially non-communicable diseases. I am also interested in acute care, trauma, clinical care processes and outcomes, public health, nursing in general, healthcare education, symptom management, patient involvement, patient support, healthcare technologies, and quality improvement in healthcare.

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.
