Miss Jigishaa Moudgil-Joshi

Neurosurgery Resident, Royal London Hospital, UCL Hawkes Institute (TeQ Group). I am an ST2 neurosurgery trainee in the London Deanery with a strong academic focus on surgical innovation, neurotechnology, and translational neuroscience. My research centres on intraoperative human neurophysiology and the development and evaluation of novel surgical technologies, including brain–computer interfaces and advanced neuromonitoring platforms. I am actively involved in collaborative projects across UCL, the Francis Crick Institute, and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, including first-in-human Neuropixels recordings. I have experience designing and delivering prospective clinical studies, applying IDEAL principles to ensure methodological rigour in early-stage surgical innovation. Alongside my clinical training, I contribute to national trainee initiatives as Treasurer of the British Neurosurgical Trainees’ Association and help coordinate multidisciplinary collaborations in surgical technology through the TeQ Group. My career goal is to become an academic consultant neurosurgeon specialising in functional neurosurgery and neurotechnology.
