research interests: 

my research focuses on the interactions between sensation, perception and emotion. in this work, i investigate features of our environments that allows the attribution of emotional meaning (affect) to objects and events, and how these features impact our experience the world.

i use a combination of techniques (fmri, psychophysical recording, behavioural measures, etc.), which enable me to probe how multi-sensory sources of emotional information are represented in the brain, and how they influence physiological responding and behaviour.

i am currently looking to recruit both undergraduate researchers and graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 (masters-level) to begin fall 2023.
