My work is focused on better understanding parental perinatal mental health and how this may impact early child (neuro)development. In my work, I use neuroimaging data from fetal and neonatal MRI, as well as phenotypic data collected through assessments and self-report questionnaires. 

​

I am passionate about participatory research practices and improving the reproducibility and transparency of research. This is reflected in my involvement in several Open Research initiatives and projects. Currently, I am the KCL Local Network Lead for the UK Reproducibility Network, a co-founder of the Open Research Calendar, and a steering group member for the RIOT Science Club.
