I am interested in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotion processing and social cognition more broadly and how these break down under psychopathology, with a particular focus on Autism and Alexithymia. In particular, my work makes use of psychophysiological and eye-tracking techniques coupled with experimental designs, statistical and computational modelling to investigate correlates of emotion processing.
Before starting my Ph.D. at Oxford, I was a Fulbright Scholar at The City University of New York where I completed my Masters investigating gaze and psychophysiological correlates of emotion processing in neurotypical individuals.
My Ph.D. research is funded by a Clarendon Scholar Award and a Medical Sciences Division Studentship.
