About

I am a second-year Natural Science student at UCL, specialising in Medical Physics and Neuroscience. I am particularly interested in neurological disorders and how scientific research can improve treatments, diagnostics and patient care. With a strong interdisciplinary background, I have a unique perspective on how physical sciences and neuroscience can work together to drive advances in the medical field. I am keen to gain experience in clinical research, therapeutic developments and healthcare-focused innovation.
