Biography
I have been a postdoc in the Visual Cognition Lab since November 2018. While primarily employed on the airport x-ray baggage screening project with Dr. Greg Davis and Dr. Alex Muhl-Richardson, I have collaborated on several other projects within the lab and take a focus on computational models of psychological processes.
Prior to my work in Cambridge I undertook my PhD at the University of Manchester, investigating sensorimotor control in manual tracking under the supervision of Dr. Warren Mansell, Prof. Sarah Tyson and Dr. Andrew Weightman.
