Biography
I gained my Ph.D. at the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience in the
research group of Neil Burgess and John O'Keefe. After post-doctoral
fellowships at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge
(with Kim Graham) and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuro-imaging (with
Eleanor Maguire) I was awarded a Wellcome Trust Advanced Training
Fellowship to learn single unit recording. I now employ cognitive and
behavioural neuroscience techniques in my laboratory to study the neural
basis of spatial cognition.

I am interested in how our brain constructs representations of the world and uses them to navigate, imagine the future and remember the past. I use brain imaging, neuropsychological testing, virtual reality, eye-tracking and single cell recording as methods to understand brain function and spatial cognition.
