Currently I am working as a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Stirling. I mostly work in the area of face processing and recognition, and my interests lie in uncovering how we become familiar with stranger's faces and what the limits of our recognition abilities are.
During my PhD in psychology I examined human social status, and looked at differences in the use of two different strategies people can use to attain high status (dominance and prestige) using several different techniques.
