I am a Research Fellow at the School of Psychology, University of Nottingham. My research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms of motor disorders, such as Tourette Syndrome and Parkinson’s Disease, using real-time neuroimaging and non-invasive neurostimulation techniques.

I investigate the effectiveness of closed-loop, phase-targeted neurostimulation compared to open-loop methods in both healthy and clinical populations. My work involves EEG, MEG, and OPM-MEG, combined with techniques like median nerve stimulation (MNS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and focused ultrasound stimulation (FUS).

Previously, I studied the integration of OPM-MEG with peripheral nerve stimulation, such as median and tibial nerve stimulation, in neurotypical populations.
