I am a research fellow primarily based in the Behaviour-Brain-Body Research Centre and have ongoing research projects with the Cognitive Ageing and Impairment Neurosciences laboratory (CAIN) and the Sleep and Chronobiology laboratory (SCL).
I also have affiliations with the Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environments (IVE) and the Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning (C3L).
My research centres around the safe use of virtual reality (VR) technologies, the transferability of real-world skills from VR/AR training, and the use of sensors for monitoring psychophysiological changes.
I supervise Honours and PhD students.
