Biography
I did my BSc in Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol followed by an MSc at the University of Exeter. I returned to Bristol for my PhD and studied visual attention using the multiple object tracking paradigm. I then moved to the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam for a post-doc in motor control and learning. I started at Nottingham in October 2022 as a research fellow.

Current Research
My research investigates how we use visual information to guide our actions. It is known that movements can be quickly adjusted to account for sudden changes in visual information. Using perturbation paradigms and motion capture, we examine the mechanisms underlying these online corrections. I am also interested in how the brain represents spatial visual information. To assess this, we modify the mappings between participant's own movements and that of a tool they are controlling to examine what spatial reference frames (i.e., egocentric or allocentric) are used to organise the incoming visual information.
