Teaching psychology at the University of Glasgow’s School of Psychology and Neuroscience. I have completed my PhD under Prof Monika Harvey, Prof Gregor Thut and Dr Gemma Learmonth.

My main research interest is the intersection between motivation and attention and their effects on performance. During my PhD, I contributed to research using electroencephalography (EEG) to detect biomarkers associated with mechanisms involved in fatigue. I also investigated the role of ageing in sustained attention. I developed behavioural testing protocols for online attentional experiments and worked on methods for data collection through public engagement.

I am now particularly interested in applying behavioural experiments and non-invasive EEG to study motivational drivers of attentional performance. I am especially keen to identify underlying drivers of motivation in student populations. I believe that the experience of experimental participation provides a valuable context for examining these dynamics, particularly in relation to biases that skew performance. To this end, I draw on both objective markers (EEG signals, physiological measures, task performance) and subjective measures (questionnaires, assessments, and qualitative studies of lived experience). I maintain an ongoing interest in reframing the experimental experience through methods such as public engagement and targetted outreach to underrepresented populations.

My approach to data analysis is founded on a deep understanding of statistical theory and modelling, 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 insights that drive successful outcomes for my research. I work closely with each participant and university students to identify new research and analysis goals and objectives and develop customised analysis plans tailored to their specific needs.
