Assistant Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences

​

I am originally from the UK and joined the BMRL in 2020 after previously completing a PhD (DPhil) in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford, where I also held the position of Junior Dean at St. Peter's College, Oxford. My research interests broadly center around the association between sleep and mental illness. Currently, my work aims to explore this relationship by investigating the mechanisms through which sleep disruption might increase risk for depression, and by testing sleep interventions in patients with mental illness, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes.
