Post-doctoral Research Associate
I am currently employed in the FaceLab in the School of Psychology. I am investigating person perception in typical and atypical development, with a particular focus of the mechanisms potentially underlying face processing difficulties in children with autism. My position is funded by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders. Duties include independently conducting experimental studies, communicating and publishing research findings, and supervising student projects.

Research
I am interested in revealing the mechanisms that underlie face processing difficulties in individuals with autism, and their family members. Understanding how person perception functions atypically in these groups may reveal the mechanisms critical for successful face processing, and provide an evidence base for targeted interventions to improve person perception and social functioning in autism.
