About
I am a passionate and experienced postgraduate researcher at the University of Glasgow’s School of Psychology and Neuroscience. I work with Prof Monika Harvey, Prof Gregor Thut and Dr Gemma Learmonth.
My main topic of interest is motivation and changes in attention and their role in the experience of fatigue. I contributed to research on the role of alerting mechanisms in ageing and stroke rehabilitation using electroencephalography (EEG) as well as development of clinical behavioural testing using online experimentation. Previously, I also studied emotion and music-evoked autobiographical memories through public engagement. Insights from the project provided an improvement to the guidelines in therapeutic interventions for patients with a range of neurocognitive disorders. I am currently interested in the insight from EEG and behavioural research to help understand the mechanisms of fatigue.
My approach to data analysis is founded on a deep understanding of statistical theory and modeling, combined with a keen eye for detail and a passion for uncovering the stories that data can tell. In my work where I develop interactive experiments, I routinely transform complex data into actionable insights that then drive successful outcomes for my research. I work closely with each participant as well as the students at the university to identify new goals and objectives, and develop customized analysis plans that are tailored to their specific needs.
