As a Stipendiary Lecturer (Career Development) in Experimental Psychology, I teach Prelims Statistics tutorials at Pembroke. Tutoring statistics at Pembroke is so much fun – the enthusiasm and energy that the undergraduates bring is inspiring and infectious! I love being involved in the Psychology community at Pembroke, as beyond formal tutoring we offer support for the students through extra-curricular events in Psychology, such as weekly Psychology lunches, research evenings, and productivity groups. It’s a pleasure to get to interact so much with the Pembroke Psychologists through all the different stages of their degree.

I completed my BSc in Physics and Brain & Cognitive Sciences from MIT in 2017, and combine my interests in both physics and neuroscience in my current work on visual perception. I am currently wrapping up my DPhil in Experimental Psychology, where my research has explored the intra- and inter- personal differences in colour perception. My DPhil work has also focused on the development of new display technologies and metrics, and the applications of these display technologies to assess human vision in ways that have been previously inaccessible.

Ultimately, the goal of my DPhil research is to develop and utilise new technical capabilities in stimulus generation and control to enable new tests of human colour vision to elucidate the biological and psychological factors that influence colour perception. 

Beyond my DPhil, my research interests also lie in understanding the dynamic properties of the retina: the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye with which we sample the world around us. Specifically, I am interested in utilising advances in high-resolution retinal imaging technologies to model the dynamic retina and to use such models to extract retinal biomarkers of health and disease.
