Personal profile

General

I am a Leverhulme Research Fellow investigating the influence of the attention of others on our own attention and memory. For more on my research please see my personal website, Research Gate and Google Scholar pages.

Research Interests

In my research, I focus on how the social environment effects the way that information is processed in attention and memory. Specifically, I have a keen interest in how the social factor of joint attention (the mutual focus of two individuals on the same object or event), as signalled through eye gaze, shapes perception and memory of events.
