🧠 Research Scientist by background, with a PhD in neuroscience

Click for more details - for instance, What type of neuroscience?

I specialised in neuroimaging, specifically Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). I have investigated the neural, vascular and metabolic function of the human brain and how these functions change in Multiple Sclerosis. I have developed and refined methods of measuring brain signals, examining different interpretations of what these signals tell us about brain health.

🧠 Data Wrangler at The Alan Turing Institute

Click for more details - for instance, What is a Data Wrangler?

Data Wranglers can be viewed as a specialised type of data scientist, primarily working in the space between data generators and data analysts. Read more here. The research projects I work on use large population health databases (often electronic health records derived from primary care data). This data rarely comes AI-ready or research-ready. I create re-usable, accessible and efficient analytical workflows to help prepare data for specific use cases.
