I am currently a post-doctoral researcher supported by a Fyssen Foundation fellowship at the Laboratoire des Systèmes Perceptifs at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. My current research focus is confidence judgements for perceptual and sensorimotor decisions, supervised by Pascal Mamassian. I also study spatial perception in audition and vision, as well as general perceptual decision-making. My method of choice is computational modelling combined with psychophysics.

I obtained my PhD in Psychology from New York University in 2019 under the supervision of Mike Landy. My thesis was titled Perception, Action, and Metacognition. Before that, in 2013, I obtained a Bachelor of Science (majors: physiology, psychology) from the University of Sydney.
