I am a lecturer in BioPsychology and a researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience. My research interests focus on exploring the link between semantic, social, and affective processing. I work on projects investigating the underlying neural mechanisms of semantic processing of various types of social concepts. I employ a multi-method approach that includes behavioural testing, neuroimaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation. I am keen to explore ways to translate basic science outcomes to developing assessment tools and interventions suitable to manage socio-affective impairments.
