Research Interests
My research interests revolve broadly around studying the association between sleep and cognitive development in the first couple of years of life. I am especially interested in how we can use neuroimaging methods like functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and EEG to study the sleeping infant’s brain. I also use eye-tracking, actigraphy and behavioural methods in my research. Currently I work both on the STAARS project and the Early Life Cohort Feasibility study.
Public Engagement
Together with Maheen Siddiqui I am leading the Ask the Scientist parent roundtable events and podcast. If you want to participate in either – please let me know!
