I am a Lecturer in Psychology at Newcastle University. Prior to that I was Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience (ICN, University College London). I obtained my PhD in neuroscience from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL).
Currently my main research focus is on the neural basis of spatial and episodic memory, spatial navigation, and the involvement of the medial temporal lobe in visual cognition. More broadly, I am also interested in large scale brain modelling, AI, central pattern generators, biologically inspired robotics, and the scientific study of consciousness. I am a physicist by training, and time permitting I moonlight as a writer. My first novel (a satire) is available on Amazon. |
