PhD research title -"The impact of child maltreatment on brain structure: neural markers of vulnerability". The main objective of the project is to significantly further our understanding of the range of neurocognitive correlates and characteristics of maltreatment and how they related to psychopathological symptomatology.

Research assistant within the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit at University College London. I was involved in the experimental design, interviewing and psychometric assessment of children exposed to abuse and their caregiver. I was also responsible for the management and analysis of the behavioural and brain imaging data, subsequently helping in the writing of research papers. Furthermore I was tasked with the everyday running of the lab, including administration and contact with participants.
