Ashleigh Davies MEng
Ashleigh Davies is doing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Science at KCL, looking at using MIND (Morphometric Inverse Network Divergence) to determine predictors of mental disorders from perinatal brain MRI.
Ashleigh completed both her Undergraduate and Masters Degree in Engineering at the University of Oxford. There, she discovered a passion for neuroscience and biomedical engineering, for which she received the Oxford Qualcomm Prize. Ashleigh’s MEng thesis investigated the time-variant nature of pain-related behaviour using a Virtual Reality task. She has since worked as a Research Technician at University College London, specialising in Medical Imaging and Machine Learning. Her research interests include sleep, circadian rhythms, and the role of neuroplasticity in chronic conditions.
Alongside her PhD research, she is continuing her role as Research Assistant to Professor Sukhi Shergill at Kent and Medway Medical School, facilitating and conducting research, and overseeing collaborations between KMMS and a range of Universities, Trusts, NHS Staff, both in the UK and overseas.
