About

I originally trained as an osteopath but now do research full-time. I was an MSCA-funded early stage researcher with the Innovative Training Network Disc4All for 3 years (2021-2024) and am now funded by The Finnish Cultural Foundation for the final year of my doctoral research. My work combines deep learning, radiomics, and disease progression modelling to study lumbar disc degeneration.

My PhD project is titled “classification of IVD radiological signs and relation with SNP and multi-omics profiles”. My Supervisors are Professors Simo Saarakkala (PI), Aleksei Tiulpin, and Jaro Karppinen.
