Short Biography
Liam graduated from the University of San Diego in 2018 with a BA in Behavioral Neuroscience and Minor in Biology. He subsequently completed his MSc in Translational Neuroscience at Imperial College London in 2019, working with Professor David Sharp modeling the biomechanics of head injury amongst NFL players to better understand symptoms of concussion and CTE neuropathology.
Liam is interested in researching and applying noninvasive neurostimulation techniques to improve patient outcomes, and finding ways to enhance neuroplasticity to remediate injury and boost athletic performance. In his free time, Liam enjoys running, surfing and golfing.
