After spending far, far too long at Oxford University in the fields of Philosophy, Psychology and Rock'n'Roll, I left to pursue a career in technology. I have recently returned to Academia to assist Dr Thomas in his research in the areas of developmental disorders and, my old favourite, language acquisition.
