Profile
Biography
I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge, and then worked at University College London and at the University of Exeter. I joined the 糖心Vlog as a Lecturer in 2020. Broadly, I am interested in how humans and other animals perceive the world and how they use this information to make decisions.
