Overview
As a postdoctoral scientist at Royal Holloway University of London (and honorary at Cardiff University) my research focuses on the intricate relationship between stress and memory. I leverage a variety of advanced techniques, including MRI analysis to map brain connectivity in emotion and memory-related regions, large-scale longitudinal data analysis to predict factors impacting mental health, and the development of novel virtual reality experiments to study emotion-memory binding. My goal is to use these insights to better understand and ultimately improve mental health outcomes.
