Biography
My background is in Cognitive Science, having studied at Dublin City University and University of Edinburgh before completing my PhD at University College Dublin. Prior to arriving in Maynooth in 2021, I worked in Northumbria University, University of Manchester, and Lancaster University.
Research Interests
My research falls broadly within the areas of cognitive science and embodied cognition. I am interested in how people's linguistic, bodily and environmental experience shapes their mental representations and how this affects the way they process the world around them. This research includes investigations of the grounded and situated nature of concepts, the ability of language, body and environment to shape representations and behaviour, and the interplay of linguistic and simulation systems in human cognition.I strongly support an open science approach to research, and strive to make my work as transparent and reproducible as possible. You can access my Open Science Framework project page here, which has project details, preregistration plans, shared materials, and open data for various things I've been working on in recent years.
If you are interested in open science, or in topics related to any of my publications and are interested in pursuing a PhD, please email me a few lines of what you'd like to do.
