Programme Leader: Duncan Astle
I am passionate about understanding brain organisation as it relates to behaviour, learning, and cognition in childhood. I am especially interested in the early emergence of structural brain organisation, which I currently research using generative network modelling techniques with neonates. The aim of my PhD is to explore the brain-behaviour relationship in neurodiverse populations in order to better understand developmental trajectories.
I am supervised by Duncan Astle (4D Lab) and advised by Joni Holmes (Cognition, Education, & Emotions Lab). My studies are funded by the Gates Cambridge Scholarship. Before Cambridge, I received my BA in neuroscience and behaviour with a minor in education at Vassar College, NY, USA.
