Assistant Professor

Jul 2018 - Present
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, and a member of the Brain & Mind Institute at Western University, London. I combine classical neuroanatomical techniques with cutting-edge functional imaging to examine the development of auditory cortex in humans and animal models. Additionally, I am interested in the role of neural plasticity in compensating for periods of abnormal experience.
