Message

At the University of Manchester, I worked as a Research Assistant in Tomography, developing adaptive scanning techniques in Python CIL for Bragg-edge neutron tomography research and carrying out numerical analysis for 3D CT research.

During a University of Manchester summer research internship, I worked in a team studying motor neuron recovery before and after brachial plexus surgery, using BrainVoyager and CAT12 to track changes in patients’ brains. My education also included developing code for CT imaging techniques and 3D Bragg-edge neutron imaging techniques in Python CIL.
