I am interested in the study of cerebellar involvement in cognitive and social functions in healthy population and psychopathology. More in depth, I am focusing on the study of cerebello-cerebral pathways.

I work at Sam Hughes Pain Lab in Exeter (ExPain). My research covers an array of mechanism-based approaches to study and treat pain, including functional neuroimaging, phycophysics, behavioural testing, and interviews. Most recently, my work focuses on the use of virtual reality to treat acute and chronic pain.

We are interested in the innovation of electrical stimulation therapies for neurological disorders (a.k.a. neuromodulation), specifically for chronic pain management. The overall goal of our group is to develop a patient-specific approach using computer models and clinical measurements. We believe this research will help optimize current technologies and innovate new therapies to improve patient outcomes.
