I am a certified practising speech pathologist investigating the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) as a treatment for post-stroke aphasia. My research uses techniques such as electroencephalography to examine neurophysiological responses to NIBS. I am also interested in clinical translation and identifying the barriers and facilitators that influence integration of new technologies such as NIBS into speech-language pathology practice. Ultimately, my work aims to bring together the fields of brain stimulation and aphasiology, bridging the gap between bench and bedside. I am based at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) in the Brain Stimulation, Imaging, and Cognition Group.
