B Psychological Science (Hons I); PhD
In 2007 I received my PhD in psychology at the University of Queensland. Since then I have worked as a postdoctoral research fellow investigating areas such as emotion, attention, processing of other-race faces, and the electro-cortical basis of small-animal fear and phobia.
My research interests fall under the broad area of affective and social neuroscience. I am particularly interested in how and why emotional processes and our ability to recognize the emotional responses of others are influenced by perceptions of race. I am also interested in what electro-cortical measures (e.g., EEG) can reveal about the way in which we processes human faces, their age, gender, race and emotional expression. Other areas of interest include processing of fear relevant stimuli (snakes, spiders) and the psychophysiology of emotion and attention in the context of fear or pleasure learning.
