Profile

After completing undergraduate degrees in Psychology, Law, and French, I completed my PhD in Psychology at The University of Adelaide in Australia, under the supervision of Prof Anna Ma-Wyatt. For my PhD work, I investigated how visual perception changes when humans make eye and hand movements. I then moved to Germany in 2016 to do a post-doc with Prof Alexander Schutz at the University of Marburg, where my research focussed on how humans maintain the percept of a stable world, despite making 2-3 eye movements every second. In 2021 was awarded a grant from the German research council (DFG) to work with Prof Roland Fleming at JLU Giessen (Germany), where I led my own research program looking at how inferences from the physical properties of objects in the world influence eye movements. In December 2023 I joined Queen Mary as a Lecturer (equiv. Asst. Prof) in Psychology.
