BIOGRAPHY
I completed a Bsc in Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University in 2010 and began my PhD in October 2010.
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
My interests lie in perception and in particular the own-group biases in face processing. For my PhD research I am studying voice processing as well as face processing and their multimodal interactions in behavioural and EEG experiments. These studies aim to establish the contributions of social-cognitive and perceptual mechanisms to the own-group biases in person processing.
