Bio/Research
I received my PhD in experimental psychology from McMaster University in 2018, and subsequently completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest. In 2020, I returned to McMaster University as an assistant professor (teaching) for four years, after which I joined the Department of Psychology at Laurier to lead the teaching at the new Milton campus.
The main focus of my research training has been understanding the processes underlying human perceptual learning. For instance, when radiologists scan x-rays, how can they detect pathologies that are virtually invisible to the untrained eye/brain. Or more broadly, when recognizing faces, what information do we use and how do we use it.
As I have taught more and more courses, I have developed a strong interest in studying how to design classes that are both effective and engaging. I am interested in studying student motivations, comparing existing and novel study techniques, and so on.
