Biographical Info:
I received a BSc in Biology from Leiden University in 2015, and an MSc in Biology in 2017. In 2025 I received a PhD in Zoology from Trinity College Dublin. My research focuses on variation in visual processing, both within- and across species, and the interplay between perception, the environment, and behaviour.
For my current postdoctoral work I employ electroencephalography, psychophysics and computational modelling to examine how variation in visual processing rates may be linked with performance in different ecological settings and elite sports.
