I am a medical data scientist with a PhD in the field of neuroscience and neuroimaging (University of Birmingham). I currently work at Lifebit, focusing on clinical data engineering and the OMOP cdm.
My PhD projects involved both healthy and clinical data analyses (functional MRI, structural MRI, EEG, clinical scales).
- I investigated the relationship between connectivity changes in the brain following brain stimulation (tDCS), and electric field characteristics as estimated by MRI-derived models (repository).
- I am also reorganising all the functions and scripts I wrote during my PhD (repository). These are mainly MRI utilities or functions to visualise data / results from MRI/fMRI analyses. I will likely work on this project more once I finish with my PhD thesis.
