Biography

I joined the School of Psychology in 2006 as a Lecturer and have been a Senior Lecturer since 2013. I received my MA (1998) from the University of Glasgow and my PhD (2002) from the University of Edinburgh (supervised by Professor Martin Pickering and Professor Holly Branigan). Following my PhD, I held an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh, and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of York (2003-2006, working with Professor Gareth Gaskell and Dr Philip Quinlan) before coming to the 51cg. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

My research interests include psycholinguistics, numerical cognition, and language support for international students. I am interested in the factors affecting sentence production as well as the relationship between attention and language. I am also interested in numerical cognition, especially the relationship between number and space. Previous PhD students include Professor Emily Nordmann (now at University of Glasgow), Dr Bernadet Jager, Dr Jennifer Mattschey (now at the Open University), and Dr Tom Gallagher-Mitchell.
