PhD

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER


I have previously worked as a research assistant in the feature binding and face recognition labs at Bournemouth University.  I completed my PhD in Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol in 2017.  I started working as a postdoctoral research associate in Masud Husain’s lab in 2018. 

 

I am interested in understanding the roles of attention and decision making in retrieval from visual working memory.  In my recent research, I have been using behavioural experiments and computational modelling methods to understand spatial feature binding – how we use spatial information to inform recognition decisions (e.g., was this object old or new?) we might have recently encountered.  Currently, I am investing how encoding demands, such as distraction, influence subsequent retrieval later on.
