Very proud to share that I have successfully defended my PhD thesis titled "Thermal and Non-Thermal Factors Affecting Regional Blood Flow Regulation"
Thank you to everyone who has supported me during this PhD 🙌
Lie down. Spin, squat, cycle. Breathe harder. Repeat.

A group of 24 volunteers followed this routine for two months to explore how prolonged inactivity affects the human body for a new bedrest study in Slovenia. 🇸🇮

We have now completed the NeurO2flight parabolic flight campaign - a complete success! ✈️
We successfully collected neurocognitive and cerebrovascular data in microgravity and hypoxic conditions. Thanks to Constance Badalì, Carmen Possnig, Tim Dieterle, and Sebastian Schmidt.
NeurO2flight Campaign Week 1: Ground and In-plane Preparation ✅️
This week the NeurO2flight team prepared and installed our racks, and rehearsed our testing protocol, within the Novespace @AirZeroG plane.
Following a successful week we are now ready for flight days! ✈️
I am running the AJ Bell Great North Run in a few weeks to raise funds for @guidedogs to allow them to continue doing their incredible work.
I see the value that a guide dog can bring and think it is a worthwhile cause - any donations are appreciated!

🚀 Recently Team #NeurO2flight finally met in person, where we conducted essential pilot testing - this included rack construction, participant familiarisation with hypoxia, and operator training on all devices.
✈️ Next stop Bordeaux in November for the parabolic flights!
Last week I had the fantastic opportunity to attend the @ESA Academy Experiments Workshop 2024 on behalf of Team NeurO2flight!
It was a great week of learning and networking with the other science teams. Thank you to the ESA Academy and the experts for their valuable support.
Incredibly thankful to have been invited to participate in an @AirZeroG parabolic flight - a truly unique experience! ✈️️
The feeling of absolute weightlessness is equal parts terrifying and addictive, I cannot wait to try it again!

🎉We are very happy to announce that our project ‘NeurO2flight’ has been selected by the @ESA Academy Experiments programme!
We will explore the effects of microgravity and hypoxia on cognitive performance and cerebral blood flow, during parabolic flights✈️
Meet the team below!
