Lab members

We are an interdisciplinary team comprising people with diverse backgrounds in psychology, physics, engineering, medicine, and biology. We work together and learn from each other in our efforts to understand the brain.

	Dr Sharna Jamadar Senior Research Fellow Sharna is interested in how our life experiences change our brains. She is particularly interested in resilience to the cognitive ageing process and the neuroscience of parenthood. She uses multimodal neuroimaging, including fMRI and simultaneous MRI-PET to understand the neural bases of cognition. Email \| Twitter
	Dr Katharina Voigt Research Fellow Katharina is interested in the neural mechanisms of decision making and neuroimaging methods, including simultaneous MRI-PET Email \| Twitter
	Dr Phillip Ward Research Associate Phillip is interested in cerebral physiology and metabolism Email \| Twitter
	Ms Emma Liang Research Associate Emma is interested in fMRI, fPET and MR-PET analyses Email \| Twitter
	Ms Ashlea Segal Research Assistant Ashlea is involved in a project looking at cognitive changes in early parenthood. Email \| Twitter
	Ms Winnie Orchard PhD student Winnie investigates the brain changes associated with parenthood across the lifespan, and how these changes relate to cognition and mental health in the postpartum period. Email \| Twitter \| Facebook
	Ms Kelsey Perrykkad PhD student (co-supervised with Jakob Hohwy) Kelsey researches how expectations and uncertainty shape our sense of self. Email \| Twitter
	Ms Nabita Singh PhD student (co-supervised with Matthew Dimmock) Nabita is using fMRI to investigate neural responses associated with uncontrolled coughing in patients with chronic cough hypersensitivity vs healthy participants. She will also be examining whether there are differences in response inhibition behaviour among patients with chronic cough hypersensitivity vs healthy participants. Email
	Dr Hamish Deery MPhil student Hamish is interested in understanding brain function and cognition across the adult lifespan, including potential shared pathways in ageing and lifestyle diseases. Ultimately identifying modifiable markers for use in advance of symptoms or disease onset. Email \| Twitter
	Mr Robert Di Paolo PhD student Rob is interested in pairing biomarkers with patterns of metabolic connectivity associated with cognitive decline in the aging brain. Email \| Twitter
	Ms Georgina Draxler PhD student Georgina is interested in how pregnancy changes the brain. Email
