As a lecturer in the Neuroimaging Department, I primarily teach in the BSc Neuroscience and Psychology programme, as well as various MSc courses. My teaching focuses on the intersections of psychology and neuroscience, including a module on the reciprocal influences of neuroscience and society, and a research-led module on working with electroencephalography (EEG). EEG is my preferred method for studying the neural underpinnings of social cognition, where I concentrate on processing social information and the impact of interindividual differences on these processes. Additionally, I co-organize the departmental EEG interest group.Beyond my research interests, I am deeply committed to inclusive education, student engagement, and student support. Currently, I serve as the Deputy Director and Senior Tutor for the BSc Neuroscience and Psychology programme.
