Currently completing a PhD titled "Randomised crossover Multi-modal MRI investigation of the effect of plant derived dietary supplementation (Cerbella^TM, and Cerbella^TM + Galantamine) on brain health (Neurophysiological and Cognitive).With the aim being to measure changes in brain health of older adults (aged 50+) before and after a period (8-weeks) of supplement and drug consumption; witht he prediction being a change in a range of physiological and cognitive outcomes after an 8 week intervention.

I have also assisted on, and completed my MSc whilst assisting on, Hypoxia research across 2 persons PhD; where my focus was on using Quantatative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) to map changes in ferromagnetic materials across Normoxia and Hypoxia. I also did a BSc project on Bloodflow Differences between Hemispheres in the ACC and PCC using Arterial Spin Labelling (ASL). I have experience using and processing several MRI modalities (ASL, QSM, BOLD, MRI, and others). I have also assisted in part on other projects (MRI, Behavioural, and Cognitive).

Currently a teaching assistant in the Research Methods (3 & 4) modual seminars
