My research interests focus on neurodiversity, neurodevelopment and the enhancement of interventions for ADHD and ASD, with a strong commitment to expanding psychological research beyond WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) populations. Currently, I am involved in two projects at Birkbeck’s ToddlerLab as a Research Assistant. The Sensory Activity in Preschoolers (SNAP) project explores sensory experiences in children with and without ASD, aiming to understand how early sensory differences may predict later social outcomes. The StayCool project investigates the development of self-regulation in the mind, brain, and body among children with a family history of ASD and/or ADHD.
