My research focuses on improving recovery after neurological injury, particularly stroke, through innovative rehabilitation approaches that integrate physiotherapy, neuroscience and neuromodulation. A major focus of my work is transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), and transcranial magentic stimulation (TMS), both are non-invasive techniques that may enhance neuroplasticity and improve rehabilitation outcomes when paired with task-specific training.

My research spans mechanistic and translational studies, including investigations of taVNS effects on cortical excitability and neuroplasticity, as well as evaluating its potential to improve walking and balance after stroke. More broadly, I am interested in gait rehabilitation, motor learning, recovery neuroscience and the translation of neuroscience discoveries into practical rehabilitation interventions.

The overarching goal of my research is to develop evidence-based interventions that improve mobility, independence and quality of life for people living with neurological conditions.
