I am a PhD student studying the compaction of pharmaceutical powders into tablets. My main focus is on computer simulations but I make intensive use of experimental data to parametrise and validate my models. I like combining experimental and computational results as well as developing automated analysis methods. I also have experience working with large data sets and high-performance computing (HPC). Although my current research is on granular matter, my background is mainly in colloidal chemistry.

Biography

My background is neuropsychology, and later, computational neuroscience. During my studies, I developed strong skills in applied data science and machine learning, as well as fundamental knowledge of neural computation. Currently, I am based in the Cambridge Centre for Neuropsychiatric Research, where our team is working on biomarker discovery for neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as on developing algorithms for more data-informed diagnostics in mental healthcare.

Biography

My current work combines neurobehavioral observation, fMRI and EEG in patients with Disorders of Consciousness. In particular, my research investigates which factors might predict patient performance, which technique (or combination of techniques), might be most sensitive in detecting residual conscious awareness, and which pattern of performance best classifies conscious state.
I am also interested in the role of attentional mechanisms in conscious perception; specifically, I have been studying which temporal and spatial factors influence divided attention when stimuli in different sensory modalities compete for conscious access, leading to integration or interference.
I strongly believe in the importance of open access and data sharing. I joined the Data Champions initiative at the University of Cambridge, aiming to increase awareness of the importance and benefits of sharing data, and to providing support within my department on how to share data through the university repository.

Additional areas of expertise:

Attentional cognitive processes, disorder of consciousness.

Biography

My research lies at the intersection of psychology, education, and computer science. I am interested in the philosophical underpinnings of different statistical paradigms and reproducible science. I was previously trained in Bayesian cognitive modeling at the JAGS and WinBUGS workshop (by Prof. Michael Lee and Prof. Eric-Jan Wagenmakers) and Bayesian item response modeling at the University of Twente (by Prof. Jean-Paul Fox).
