My research looks at interactions between action perception and production. I am interested in the role of the motor brain in perceiving actions, and how individual differences may affect perception-production interactions. My lab-based work focuses on applying established methods from other disciplines to investigate the role of individual differences (e.g., skin conductance, ECG) in perception-action interactions. Additionally, I am interested in the emotional properties of written and spoken language. My teaching covers three modules:

• Research methods and statistics in R 1
• Research methods and statistics in R 2
• Psychology and Society
