I am a PhD student in the Psychology Department at Durham University fascinated with developmental cognitive neuroscience. My current project is investigating the role of tiredness in early cognitive and neural development using a novel and non-invasive neuroimaging method: functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Before coming to Durham, I was at the University of East Anglia (UEA) where I completed my BSc in Psychology including a research project examining the influence of sleep and language on myelination in the brain in 18 month-old infants. I also completed my MSc in Developmental Psychology at UEA wherein I investigated the impact of different analysis approaches to infant fNIRS research.
