Biography
I graduated from the University of Cambridge with a 1st class BA in Natural Sciences (specialising in Physiology) in 2005. I stayed in Cambridge to complete my PhD and then a one-year post-doctoral project with Prof. Brian Moore on the subject of temporal processing deficits in hearing-impaired listeners. In April 2010 I was appointed as a Lecturer in Audiology at the University of Manchester.
Qualifications
- BA in Natural Sciences (Physiology), University of Cambridge
- PhD in Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge
