Biography

I obtained my PhD at the University of Manchester in 2003 under the supervision of Professor John Wearden . My thesis explored the nature and operation of temporal reference memory in the SET (scalar expectancy theory) model of human timing. During this time I also worked as an associate lecturer for the Open University teaching neuroscience.

I then spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher in the Visual Perception laboratory at the University of Liverpool working with Dr Marco Bertamini . My first year was spent researching the phenomenon of boundary extension and also the naive optics of mirror reflections. On obtaining a research grant from the ESRC  I spent the second year conducting psychophysical research on people's ability to use the depth cues afforded by reflections. You can read about this research here

In May 2005 I began my employment as a Lecturer back here in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester. I have set up a Temporal Perception Lab in the department, and have a number of projects running with both undergraduate and postgraduate researchers. You can visit the website for the Temporal Perception lab here
