Hello! I’m a postdoctoral research fellow in cognitive neuroscience at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). I use neurophysiological, behavioural, and computational approaches to study how our brains make sense of sensory information. My current work focusses on the neural mechanisms which enable the accurate localisation of moving objects under neural delays.

I work in the Timing Lab at QUT (and previously at The University of Melbourne) with Hinze Hogendoorn. I completed my PhD in the Decision Neuroscience Lab at The University of Melbourne under the supervision of Stefan Bode, Daniel Feuerriegel, and Rob Hester investigating perceptual decision making and metacognition [thesis link].
