Find a Data Champion

I work in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging, with a strong focus on research data management, reproducible analysis, and open science practices. Before training in cognitive neuroscience, I was educated in computer science and trained as a systems analyst, which continues to shape how I approach research data, workflows, and computational methods. In my current work, I focus on brain imaging data, including data organisation in BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure), preprocessing and analysis pipelines, and the development of practical training materials to support researchers in using modern computational tools and adopting good data practices.

Marlou is a Research Associate at Clinical Neurosciences, working at the Cambridge Centre for Frontotemporal Dementia and Related Disorders. Her background is in Psychology, with a specialism in intra-individual variability. She has experience in neuroimaging (specifically M/EEG), eye tracking, psychophysics/experimental design, and metacognition. In her current role, she oversees multi-modal, multi-site, and longitudinal projects in patients and healthy controls.

I am a postdoctoral researcher working on data and wet lab projects at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. I combine hands-on laboratory work with computational analysis, helping to generate, process, and interpret biological data. My work sits at the interface of experimental biology and data science.
