I am a Research Associate in the Mental Health Neuroscience Lab. I work on the EM-BODY project, investigating how the perception of bodily signals (interoception) differs in mental health conditions, with a view to developing a range of interoception-based interventions.
Previously, I completed a BA in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, and an MSc and PhD in Psychology at the University of Birmingham (PI: Prof Jennifer Cook). My PhD work focused on movement, social cognition and interoception in clinical conditions (e.g., Parkinson's Disease; Autism).
I am a co-founder of the U21 Autism Research Network, an international network of eight autism research groups aimed at establishing better informed, more inclusive autism research.
