PhD projects

If you are interested in developing a PhD project that aligns with any of my research interests please get in touch.

I am particularly interested in how the brain learns to efficiently process auditory information and how this may differ across different populations (e.g. neurodiversity, lifespan including ageing, childhood and life stages such as menopause).

While student-led applications for funded PhDs are only available at set times of the year it is advantageous to start developing the project ideas as early as possible.

Personal profile

SUMMARY of research interests (100 words)

Our brains are experts at extracting predictable information from every aspect of our environment, allowing us to navigate the world efficiently and effectively. I am interested in studying and understanding how these mechanisms work in the brain, how they relate to everyday life, and how they may be affected as we age—both in healthy aging and in age-related diseases such as dementia. I explore questions such as: How does predictable information help us process incoming sounds efficiently, separate different sound sources, and determine what we pay attention to? To investigate these questions, I use electroencephalography (EEG), pupillometry (changes in pupil size that correspond to cognitive processes), and behavioral experiments.
