Heike is a MRC CASE DTP PhD student using precision modelling approaches to understand variance in structural and functional brain plasticity during healthy cognitive ageing. Her research brings together cognitive and computational neuroscience, which builds upon her academic and industry background in neuroimaging. Heike will also build on this further during her industry placement with UK Biobank. She is looking forward to building on her skills in computational modelling and MR physics, and using diffusion imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
