Research areas

I am interested in the cognitive neuroscience of executive functions with a focus on memory control. During my PhD at University College London, I have investigated the functional organisation of rostral prefrontal cortex (BA 10) under the supervision of Professor Paul Burgess. I use behavioural, functional neuroimaging, and electrophysiological approaches.
