Research interests
My research focuses on the way in which children learn through social interactions. I am investigating the synchronisation of brain activity between teachers and learners, and the relationship with learning outcomes in both online and in-person settings. I am using neuroimaging (fNIRS) and eye tracking to collect neural and behavioural data.
