Biography

I’ve been working in the Department of Psychiatry for almost a decade now. I specialise in improving process and workflow and in research data management. I also work in branding, digital recruitment, website design and administration, social media management, and data architecture. I am particularly good at thinking of new and creative solutions to emerging problems. I am currently working on ways to govern and organise the many research projects within my department and in the School of Clinical Medicine, and on creating ways to share research and imaging data (MRI, PET etc) openly.

Biography

My current work combines neurobehavioral observation, fMRI and EEG in patients with Disorders of Consciousness. In particular, my research investigates which factors might predict patient performance, which technique (or combination of techniques), might be most sensitive in detecting residual conscious awareness, and which pattern of performance best classifies conscious state.
I am also interested in the role of attentional mechanisms in conscious perception; specifically, I have been studying which temporal and spatial factors influence divided attention when stimuli in different sensory modalities compete for conscious access, leading to integration or interference.
I strongly believe in the importance of open access and data sharing. I joined the Data Champions initiative at the University of Cambridge, aiming to increase awareness of the importance and benefits of sharing data, and to providing support within my department on how to share data through the university repository.

Additional areas of expertise:

Attentional cognitive processes, disorder of consciousness.

Biography

My research lies at the intersection of psychology, education, and computer science. I am interested in the philosophical underpinnings of different statistical paradigms and reproducible science. I was previously trained in Bayesian cognitive modeling at the JAGS and WinBUGS workshop (by Prof. Michael Lee and Prof. Eric-Jan Wagenmakers) and Bayesian item response modeling at the University of Twente (by Prof. Jean-Paul Fox).
