Developing AI-powered tools for patient stratification and prognostication using neuroimaging and clinical data from NHS memory clinics.
AI & neuroimaging researcher building tools for individualised dementia care.
Based at Christ's College and the Neuroinformatics Lab, I work across clinical and computational teams to bridge research and clinical practice.
As part of the Neuroinformatics Lab, I focus on analysing neuroimaging and clinical data from NHS memory clinics, leveraging AI and normative modeling to create individualised tools for patient stratification and prognostication. I have contributed to the PASSIAN Project in collaboration with UCL, implementing a secure, scalable clinical data-sharing solution via federated learning in the NHS.
My PhD research explored neural and cognitive correlates of Parkinson's Disease Psychosis using multimodal imaging techniques, combined with network neuroscience, transcriptomics, and receptor map approaches.

The PASSIAN Project focuses on implementing federated learning in the NHS to create a secure, scalable clinical data-sharing solution. This work addresses a critical barrier to developing AI implementations for real-world biomedical data.
Federated learning enables multiple institutions to collaboratively train machine learning models on their local data without sharing raw patient information, preserving privacy while enabling large-scale AI development for healthcare applications.
Combining AI with clinical and biological data (QMIN-MC and NACC cohorts) to develop individualised diagnostic and prognostic tools for dementia.
Investigation and validation of this approach in a large scale cohorts of people with different dementia diagnoses.
