I work at the intersection of pain neuroscience and safe learning, with a focus on basic science experiments and theories, in hopes that atleast some of which could lead to interventions that alleviate chronic pain.

Individually my research covers the perception of effort and how it is affected by the pain experience on a psychophysiological level.
Linked to that, I then explore the behavioural and cognitive changes in self-regulation due to pain.
As a group, we explore the use of virtual reality and eye-tracking with their ability to enhance performance across sport, military, aviation, and clinical settings.
As a new member of my team, the aim is to bridge the pain research and eye-tracking/virtual reality research already underway.

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.

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.
