I am a researcher with a strong interest in maximizing human potential through neuro-modulatory and allied health interventions, specializing in quantitative studies and systematic reviews. I have hands-on experience with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), split-belt treadmills, 3D motion analysis systems, functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), eye-trackers, and electroencephalography (EEG). I am also passionate about teaching and mentoring, sharing knowledge and fostering understanding in health research.
