My research interests are in functional neurosurgery for pain, mental disorders and mental disorders. My PhD was in advanced computational neuroimaging and connectomic neurosurgery. I have ongoing work to develop translational methods in MRI brain connectivity, in addition to his involvement in various clinical trials to improve the safety and efficacy of existing therapies, and explore new and emerging applications.

I am a Rheumatologist with a clinical and research interest in musculoskeletal pain mechanisms. I use a combination of techniques, including neuroimaging and clinical pain quantification, to investigate pain related predictors of response to treatment in different forms of arthritis and fibromyalgia. My group is currently investigating the effectiveness of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in patients with fibromyalgia. This study is using online platforms to conduct questionnaire-based surveys and collect quantitative movement and cognitive learning data.
