I’m a research assistant at UCL working with Prof. Rimona Weil and Dr. Angelika Zarkali, focusing on Parkinson’s disease and Lewy Body Dementia using clinical, cognitive, and advanced neuroimaging data (including MRSI and 7T MRI) to investigate early biomarkers of cognitive decline. I contribute to several large collaborative studies at UCL, including GP2, the Multimodal Parkinson’s study, and the Race Against Dementia TUS trial in Dementia with Lewy Bodies in collaboration with Oxford.

Previously, I worked with Prof. Charles Marshall investigating the relationship between hearing loss and dementia. I graduated with distinction from the UCL MSc in Clinical Neuroscience and hold a first-class BSc in Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Manchester. My experience includes participant recruitment, data collection, data analysis (RStudio, Python), and contributing to scientific manuscripts.
