My expertise lies in applying machine learning and deep learning to analyze complex biomedical data, particularly through the lens of neuroimaging. I lead initiatives to develop novel end-to-end analytical pipelines by integrating data such as brain imaging, movement, and speech, with a specific focus on diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, autism, and depression.

I have had the pleasure and honour to work with renowned researchers such as [Dr.] Franzmeier](https://www.isd-research.de/franzmeier-lab), [Professor Smith](https://www.york.ac.uk/physics-engineering-technology/people/stephen_smith/), <a href="https://www.abdn.ac.uk/ims/people/profiles/g.waiter">Dr.</a> Waiter, <a href="https://www.gla.ac.uk/researchinstitutes/iii/staff/neilbasu/">Professor Basu</a>, and <a href="https://reillylab.net/richard-reilly">Professor Reilly</a> on multiple projects. These collaborations have focused on developing advanced automated neuroimaging preprocessing pipelines, objective assessment of depression from rsfMRI brain scans, investigating the underlying mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis-related fatigue in the brain, and contributing to projects analyzing speech and brain imaging features for the classification of Alzheimer’s disease patients and mild cognitive impairment.
