About

I am a DPhil (PhD) student at the University of Oxford and am currently a member of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain. I am jointly supervised by Dr Julia Schnabel and Dr Mark Woolrich.

I studied Computer Science with Image and Multimedia at the University of Southampton, graduating with MEng 1st class in 2008 with the Quantum Research Group award for academic achieviement. I also recieved the MISYS scholarship for academic achievement for 3 years during my undergraduate studies.

Teaching

I jointly design and run a week long course on Engineering for gifted AS/A2 students at the Villiers Park Educational Trust with Rob Spanton.

I am involved in teaching on the Centre for Doctoral Training in Healthcare Innovation DPhil program. Specifically doing lab demonstration on Biological Signal Processing and demonstrating and lecturing on Information Driven Healthcare.

Work

My primary work interests lie in medical image analysis, specifically image registration of human brains. I am currently working on non-rigid registration methods with application to both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies.
