I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Senior Research Fellow based in the Department of Psychology, University of York. I am interested in all aspects of sleep research, and am currently investigating the role sleep plays in the consolidation of memories, and the neural mechanisms underlying this process.
I also have an interest in 'anomalous sleep experiences', particularly the phenomena of sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming.
