Academic Background
Dr. Sami obtained his PhD in Biomedical Science and Engineering from the Centre for Sensory-Motor Interaction, Aalborg University, Denmark. Subsequently, he has held research appointements at Aalborg University (Denmark), the University of Birmingham (UK) and the University of Cambridge(UK). Dr. Sami joined UEA in 2017 and holds the position of Senior Lecturer in Dementia Research. His line of investigation is inherently multi-disciplinary utilising multi-modal imaging, behavioural methods and computational modelling to better understand cortical reorganization in chronic conditions. His more recent work in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge (UK) has been the study of the healthy ageing population and chronic conditions including the effects of dementia on the brain.
