​I am a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Developmental Psychology. I am interested in the effect of children's everyday auditory technology (e.g., hearing aids and assistive listening devices) on key hearing, listening, cognitive skills and cortical acclimatisation.

​

I am a paediatric auditory neuroscientist and lead The Paediatric, Listening, Cognition and Neuroscience (PELiCAN) Lab. My lab specialises in working with hearing children, deaf children and children with listening difficulties, alongside their families, teachers of the deaf and audiologists.

​

We use neuroimaging techniques, EEG, fNIRS and MRI, to understand the underlying mechanisms of speech and non-speech listening skills in children. ​We are committed to making auditory research more child-friendly and to developing naturalistic methods that better reflect real-life listening experiences.
