I am a first year PhD student in the Developmental Neurocognition Lab, funded by a Bloomsbury studentship. My project investigates how fetal and neonatal structural brain images may predict cognitive development in infancy and early childhood, in typically developing babies and babies with Down syndrome.
Research interests
Developmental cognitive Neurosciences, specially studying how early brain development or biomarkers and traumatic events might affect later cognitive abilities both in typical and atypical children. Research policy: Studying how psychological findings can be translated and applied in everyday life settings and activities.
