Research overview

I completed my PhD on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of curiosity driven by visual uncertainty with Prof Gert Westermann and Dr Katherine Twomey. My current research interest is to investigate curiosity state by linking physiological evidence with behaviours in infants and adults. I am also interested in working on topics related to developmental disorders such as autism.
