I joined the University of Adelaide as a Lecturer in November 2021. I received my PhD in 2019 from Flinders University, before joining the Stirling Face laboratory at the University of Stirling in 2020.

Generally speaking, my research examines how we perceive human faces. My work seeks to understand how we recognise faces and emotional expressions, make first impressions from facial appearance, and perform identity matching tasks. My work also examines that factors that help or hinder performance on these tasks.

Current lines of research include investing how COVID-19 face masks affect identity and emotion recognition, how we make first impressions of faces in naturalistic social scenes, and how humans perform face recognition and matching tasks when working with others or automated facial recognition systems.
