I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students who are interested in undertaking research in any of my areas of research interest: face processing in typical adults with a particular interest in early drivers of the variation in face processing expertise, face and facial expression processing in typically developing children and adults, the role of interest and motivation on face learning.
