Speech, language, and communication skills are essential to human wellbeing. Currently funded by the Royal Society, my research aims to improve our understanding of neurological disorders affecting these skills through behavioural experimentation and computational modelling, with the goal of improving clinical assessment, intervention, and rehabilitation. I have specific interests in: (i) auditory processing; (ii) the neural population dynamics of neurodivergent learning and cognitive control, and; (iii) resource-rational models of neurodivergent information seeking. Papers, code, and data for all of my projects can be found on my Open Science Framework page. 

• Language and its disorders
• Biological bases of neurodevelopmental disorders
• Methods in cognition and brain research 

I would be very happy to supervise PhD projects in the areas of (i) variability in auditory perception and language development and (ii) experimental and computational modelling approaches to understanding individual differences in infancy and childhood. Please get in touch via email.
