I am a PhD Researcher working on diffusion MRI methods at ultra-low field strengths, for implementation on low-cost open-source scanners designed specifically for use in low and middle-income countries. The aim of this research is to support the democratization of MRI-based neuroimaging and neuroscience.

My current research includes gradient perfomance characterization, phase contrast B0 and gradient field mapping for image and diffusion metric corrections, reproducibility of diffusion-based results at ultra-low fields, and image reconstruction methods such as motion correction and low rank regularization for ultra-low field diffusion data.

MPhys in Physics with Quantum Technologies at the University of Surrey (2019-2023)

Research Placement Year at TRIUMF, Vancouver (2022)

Worked on the development of a beta particle detector for decay spectroscopy studies. Included Monte Carlo simulations for testing methods, defining the mechanical assembly protocol, and testing individual components.
