Overview
Background
I am a postdoctoral researcher within Associate Professor Nathalie Dehorter's group at the Queensland Brain Institute. I was awarded a PhD in Neuroscience from Monash University in 2024 where my PhD centred on using genetic and electrophysiological methods to manipulate and record from circuits within the visual system and leveraging these techniques for translational applications.
Within Associate Professor Dehorter's group I have extended my technical expertise to further explore how neuromodulation and electrophysiology within the brain is altered in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.
