I completed my PhD at the University of York under the supervision of Prof Timothy Andrews and Dr Tom Hartley. My doctoral work used neuroimaging techniques to study how visual properties of natural scenes are represented in the human brain.
Following this, I moved to the University of Nottingham as a postdoctoral research associate working with Dr Ben Webb and Dr Neil Roach, using behavioural psychophysics to investigate mechanisms underlying multisensory recalibration. I then completed a second postdoctoral position at Nottingham with Prof Alan Johnston, employing computational approaches to study biological signals in dynamic facial behaviours.
Most recently, I have returned to the University of York, working again with Prof Timothy Andrews. My current research investigates the functional organisation of mid-level visual cortices, using both traditional and naturalistic imaging paradigms. I also assist with the supervision of other research students and projects within the lab.
My research combines behavioural, computational, and neuroimaging techniques to study the functional organisation and connectivity of mid-level visual networks in the human brain. I am particularly interested in networks underpinning the perception of natural scenes and objects. Recently, I have been developing naturalistic imaging (movie-watching) paradigms to investigate the responses of these networks to complex visual scenes.
