Background
I am currently a Career Research Fellow in the School of Computing at Newcastle University. I am based in the Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex BioSystems research group.
The majority of my work is on mathematical/computational modelling and advanced data analytics in neurological disorders (primarily epilepsy).
My wider research interests currently also include neuroimaging and neuromorphology in health and disease.
Area of expertise: Computational Neurology
