Freya is a PhD student investigating vascular dysfunction in individuals with mild cognitive impairment, with a focus on understanding the link between this dysfunction and cognitive decline. Her main research focuses on advanced imaging techniques, including functional MRI, arterial spin labelling, quantitative susceptibility mapping, and dynamic retinal vessel analysis, to explore blood flow responses to visual stimuli.
Freya holds a master’s degree in Physics from the University of Manchester, where she completed research projects on imaging cholesterol in murine brain tissue using mass spectrometry, and investigating the effects of motion correction tools on quantitative analysis in PET imaging.
In her spare time, Freya enjoys music, film, swimming, and taking part in pub quizzes.
