About Me

I am an Amplify Lecturer at the School of Psychology, within the University of Queensland. I use behavioural measurements, eye-tracking, and EEG to study the influence of brain state, in particular neural oscillations and aperiodic activity, on perception and cognition.

I began my research career in experimental psychology, studying attentional guidance, search modes, and statistical learning in visual search with Prof. Roger W. Remington and A Prof. Stefanie Becker. My PhD, supervised by Prof. Jason B. Mattingley and Prof. Paul E. Dux, was awarded in 2018. During this time, I transitioned into cognitive neuroscience, looking at the role of neural oscillations in attention and perception. I conducted postdoctoral work at UCL with Prof. Nilli Lavie, funded by Jaguar Land Rover, examining human EEG and gaze behaviour under different levels of attentional load, with application to predicting human readiness to take over driving in semi-automated vehicles. I was awarded a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award Fellowship from the Australian Research Council in 2022 and currently reside in Brisbane, Australia.
