Postdoctoral Research Associate
I am working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate on the Ordered Universe Project. The Project involves interdisciplinary readings of Medieval Science, and we are particularly interested in the treatises of Robert Grosseteste (1175-1253). In the coming months, I look forward to carrying out experiments on single-lens telescopes, vowel-vocal tract shape correspondences, spatial reference frames, and visuo-haptic material perception: diverse topics inspired by the fascinating thirteenth-century treatises of Robert Grosseteste.
My broad research interests include crossmodal and multisensory processing, visual attention, synaesthesia, body representation and awareness.
