Erta is a researcher and clinical fellow, trained in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care in Milan, Italy, and awarded a PhD in Clinical Neurosciences from the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on cerebral autoregulation pathophysiology in traumatic brain injury and other conditions, with particular emphasis on high-resolution data analysis, signal processing, Bayesian statistics, deep learning, and uncertainty quantification for physiological neuromonitoring and decision support.

Her interests lie in uncovering physiological mechanisms in the critically ill and in developing algorithms for complex data analysis that combine advanced computational methods with clinical expertise to improve patient care. Erta is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Brain Physics Lab, Cambridge, and supervises undergraduate students at Churchill. She contributes to collaborative, interdisciplinary projects spanning medicine, physics, mathematics, engineering, and data science.

Outside of research and clinical work, she enjoys roller skating, skiing, scuba diving, and dancing, and she rowed for Churchill College during her PhD. Originally from Albania, she studied in Vicenza, Padua, and Milan before moving to Cambridge — experiences that shaped her deep appreciation of diverse cultures and perspectives.
