Trosolwyg
I am a Research Associate with a background in Cognitive Neuroscience. I am based in the Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Centre (MCPCRC) team in the Division of Population, School of Medicine.
My doctoral degree focused on the development of a simple screening tool for the cognitive deficits experienced by patients with High-Grade Glioma (HGG) after recieving radiotherapy.
I am currently working towards further validating this screening tool and determining its feasability in practice.

I am interested in fast-paced impactful research, that helps to ensure evidence-based practice.
I have a background in cognitive neuroscience, and am particularly interested in how cognitive decline and its associated issues is experienced, identified and supported.
Addysgu
I have taught the undergatuate medic student selected component (SSC) for bopth research methods and literature reviews.
