Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences


I am a grant-funded post-doctoral researcher in the Cognition, Ageing and Neurodegenerative Diseases Laboratory at the University of Adelaide. Completing my PhD in 2024, my research focuses on the incorporation of biological assessments to forecast disease course and trajectory of motor and non-motor outcomes in Parkinson's Disease, as well their potential role to streamline early diagnosis. To this end, I am involved in projects assessing neurodegeneration and disease risk in at-risk groups, such as individuals with a history of traumatic brain injury and pesticide exposure.
