Biography
About me
My work with Prof. Mark Jenkinson and Dr. Ludovica Griffanti, at Oxford centre for Functional MRI of the brain (FMRIB), Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN), involves development of deep learning-based tools for domain adaption of segmentation methods and harmonisation of data from various sources.
My DPhil work was on AI-driven automated detection of small vessel disease signs on brain MR images. My postdoctoral research focusses on domain adaptation and harmonisation of neuroimaging data using deep learning methods.
Research
My research interests include domain adaptation of segmentation models for segmentation of dementia signs and harmonisation of structural data as preprocessing step for further robust analyses. My DPhil work was on modelling the distribution of white matter lesions within a population and the detection of white matter pathologies of the brain in MR images.
