Background
PhD candidate in the Precision Medicine Doctoral Training Programme, funded by the Medical Research Council. My project, based at the University of Glasgow but in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, aims to generate artificial intelligence (AI) predictive models to better understand the link between brain and heart ageing.
I completed my Masters by Research (Psychology) at the University of Edinburgh (2024-25), working closely with the Lothian Birth Cohorts team (supervised by Prof. Simon Cox). My BSc (First Class Honours) in Neuroscience (2019-24) was also completed at the University of Edinburgh.
Outside of my research, I'm a performance swimmer-turned-rower with Edinburgh University Boat Club aiming to represent Great Britain!
