I obtained my PhD in Psychology at the University of Western Australia (UWA) in 2023. My PhD project focused on whether individual differences in executive brain function predict susceptibility to using corrected misinformation in reasoning. 

Following my PhD, I was employed at Ear Science Institute Australia from 2023 to 2025, where I worked on studies investigating the relationship between hearing loss, cognition, and mental health.

As of June 2025, I am working on a research project funded by an AXA postdoctoral fellowship. This project is investigating how AI tools may influence misinformation processing and correction; it is being conducted in the Ecker Memory and Cognition Lab at UWA.

My main research interests centre around understanding the cognitive processes that underly people’s reasoning with misinformation, and how this understanding could improve strategies to combat misinformation. In my previous work, I have examined the influence of individual differences in executive brain function on misinformation susceptibility, as well as the impact of social norms on endorsement of contentious statements. Currently, I am investigating how AI tools may affect misinformation processing and how these effects could be combatted. More broadly, my research interests lay in the domains of memory and neurocognition.
