Currently my main research interests are associated with how different non-invasive neuroimaging techniques can be used to explore the development of neonatal pain processing and uncover factors that can alter this processing. In order to achieve this, I actively investigate and develop on different signal processing tools that will allow me to better examine cortical functions and underlying network development in newborns. I have previously been involved in developing a novel method for assessing neonatal scalp topographies from electroencephalography (EEG). This was used to investigate how both preterm and term infants respond to repeated pain, which they are exposed to whilst in neonatal care. Currently I am developing methods that will allow us to study long-term cortical network changes prior to and following a painful stimulus, and alternative pain management strategies for newborns. I have expertise in using and analysing data from neuroimaging techniques including EEG and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). My work is in collaboration with academics and clinicians from UCL and UCLH.
