Interests

I am passionate about understanding brain organisation as it relates to behaviour, learning, and cognition in childhood. I am especially interested in the early emergence of structural brain organisation, which I currently research using generative network modelling techniques with neonates. The aim of my PhD is to explore the brain-behaviour relationship in neurodiverse populations in order to better understand developmental trajectories.
