Research Fellow, Western Sydney University I am a visual cognitive neuroscientist who studies the neural mechanisms underlying high level vision. I graduated from Macquarie University in 2015 with a combined PhD / Master of Clinical Neuropsychology. I trained as a postdoc in some of Europe’s leading cognitive neuroscience labs, and have built deep expertise in both continuous behavioural measures and advanced analysis of time series neuroimaging data (EEG/MEG). I joined the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development as a Research Fellow in 2021, where I work on the temporal dynamics of face and object recognition in the adult and infant brain. I seek to understand how human brain transforms complex, dynamic visual input into a meaningful understanding of the world
