I am a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Hull. My work sits across psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, and research methods, with a particular focus on how language is learned, represented, and used in the context of perception, action, and memory.
I joined Hull in 2014 after postdoctoral work at the University of Dundee and the University of York, and a PhD at the University of Sussex. Alongside research, I teach research methods, statistics, psychology of language, and psychology of AI, and I supervise undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral research.
I run CogLang, a lab environment for work on language, cognition, learning, and experimental methods. The lab brings together behavioural approaches, eye tracking, and cognitive neuroscience tools to study how people learn, remember, and understand language in the real world.
What I work on
- Word learning, consolidation, and memory
- Language processing in visual and action contexts
- Speech perception and production
- Measurement, methods, and research quality in psychology
