Neurodesk: open and reproducible infrastructure
Neurodesk provides neuroimaging tools in consistent software environments, on a computer, computing infrastructure or in the browser. The aim is to make analyses more accessible, shareable and reproducible.
My contributions
I have been a core contributor to Neurodesk at The University of Queensland since 2025. My work includes:
- Software development and reproducible analysis workflows.
- Collaboration between technical teams, researchers and clinicians.
- Workshop coordination and support for contributors.
- Educational resources and publications on methods and training.
- Applying this infrastructure in CALMaR to address clinical neuroimaging questions, starting with post-stroke aphasia and with a neurodegenerative version in development.
Neurodesk is an international community project. The platform received the 2025 AIIA iAward for Technology Platform of the Year.
Published work
- Reproducible research artefacts (2025): publishing and sharing the environments and analyses that accompany scientific results.
- Open neuroimaging data accessibility (2025): reducing barriers to using data and tools.
- An interactive neuroimaging education resource (2026): connecting explanations, tools and hands-on analyses.
Training and clinical translation
I developed workshop materials on Neurodesk’s applications in multiple sclerosis, usable in the browser through Neurodesk Play. My presentations also address the move from research pipelines to clinical questions and the role of reproducible infrastructure in rehabilitation.
