Overview
Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging
Research interests
My research focuses on examining the relationship between healthy ageing and associated cognitive/neuroanatomical changes. Having completed post-doctoral positions investigating stereological measurements of the temporal lobe in encephalitis and, more recently, the role of the medial temporal lobe in supporting recognition memory, my research interests now focus primarily on quantitative MRI and computational neuroanatomy.

Biography
My first degree was obtained from the University of Hertfordshire (Psych Sciences) in 2006, followed by a Masters in Psychological Research Methods from Aston University (2008) and a PhD in Advanced Medical Imaging/Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Manchester in 2013. In the interim periods, I worked on various projects ranging from investigating functional connectivity changes in healthy ageing, exploring associations of tissue inflammation in the temporal lobe with severity of encephalitis, to most recently working on a Wellcome Trust funded project exploring the role of the medial temporal lobes in recognition memory. I currently work as a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Neuroscience and Experimental Psychology here at the University of Manchester, where I primarily teach on the Masters in Neuroimaging for Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience.
