Research
My long-term research interest involves the development of decision support algorithms to enhance the
diagnosis of Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI), a form of Traumatic Brain Injury.
My current research aims to explore the inferences that can be drawn about the degree and distribution of DAI, by combining novel MRI sequences and validated molecular biomarkers.
