Work summary
My main focus is on clinical translation of research software, data harmonisation and computational efficiency. Part of it involves the development of FSL Clinical, a new, user-friendly application to support the identification of image derived phenotypes related to dementia.
Our work is part of the NIHR Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (OH-BRC) focusing on dementia and brain technologies. Current projects include translating MRI research into memory clinic practice through the Oxford Brain Health Clinic, and harmonising MRI measures across sites to make scans more comparable.
I also contribute to software development within the OxCIN Analysis group as part of the FSL software package. I'm an organising committee member of the FSL Course.
My background is in computer science (PhD, University of Debrecen, Hungary), and I have worked on research software and method development in simulation software packages, data and image analysis. I previously worked as a research software engineer to reimplement FSL's MSM software (called newMSM) at King's College London.
