Biography

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.

Biography

I am a neuroscientist studying human speech perception with the aim of advancing assistive speech (neuro)technologies and AI speech recognition systems. My background is in cognitive neuroscience and medicine.

I am an expert in human neurophysiology methods (electro- and magnetoencephalography, EEG/MEG) combined with machine learning and artificial neural network modelling (deep learning).

Since the beginning of my PhD, I’ve been passionate about reproducible and open science practices such as data and code sharing, and good coding practices including version control. In my department I am leading the adoption of the standardised Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) for storing and sharing human neurophysiology (MEG/EEG) data.
