I joined the University of Gloucestershire in September 2019 as a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant, having previously been in a very similar role at Bournemouth University alongside my PhD studies. I started my Lecturer position in July 2020 and have taught on a variety of our modules. My research focus is cognitive and developmental in nature, specifically exploring face processing abilities (and inabilities).

I teach research methods and statistics at undergraduate level, as well as Development Psychology at undergraduate and postgraduate level. I am also the Module Tutor for the School’s final year placement module.
My research focus is on face processing. More specifically, I work with individuals who have difficulties recognising faces and live with a condition called prosopagnosia, more commonly known as face-blindness. I am particularly interested in the methods used to identify those with prosopagnosia, and this is reflected in my PhD thesis title, “Recharacterising Face Recognition Deficits in Developmental Prosopagnosia”.
Whilst much of my research has focused on face recognition deficits, I often carry out research with individuals whose abilities are at the other end of face recognition spectrum and are “super recognisers”. I am also interested in other aspects of face processing, including emotion recognition.
Another area of research I am currently investigating is aphantasia, the inability to create a mental image in one’s mind. Specifically, I’m interested in the overlap between prosopagnosia and aphantasia, but also, the methods currently available for us to identify those living with the condition.
