Interests

I am a PhD student piloting and leading the Brain Activation in Mother and BabY (BAMBY) study, which uses dual-EEG to characterise neural synchrony between mothers and their healthy or brain-injured newborns as well as the neurological, physiological, and behavioural correlates of this neural synchrony. This project is based at Rosie Hospital and is supervised by Dr Topun Austin (Paediatrics) and advised by Dr Vicky Leong (Psychology). My PhD is supported by the Dr Herchel Smith Fellowship.
