Personal profile
Biographical details
My research focuses on the emergence of brain organization during early development and how subtle alterations in key developmental processes lead to neurodevelopmental conditions. To do so, I use multi-modal MRI, whole-brain computational models, graph theory and signal processing tools to characterise structural and functional connectivity.
