Within the Department I play a strategic role as Director of Research and Impact, supporting Claire Hulme as part of the Departmental Senior Leadership Team. I’m also passionate about my research on the application of data science and AI to combat dementia and promote brain health.
My aim for this role would be to enhance research culture. For example, we need to work together to enhance the opportunities for future leaders to transition to independence, gain promotion, and produce world-leading research. We will foster a dynamic culture of research excellence as an ongoing process that we all buy into and benefit from. To do this we need to take practical steps to encourage international collaboration, and value creativity and innovation to an even greater extent.
