I'm a researcher at the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge.  Here I work under the supervision of Prof. Simon Baron-Cohen, Dr. Bhismadev Chakrabarti, and Prof. Ed Bullmore, exploring the neural systems underlying social cognition and autism.  I'm also part of a multi-centre autism imaging consortium, the MRC AIMS Consortium, which is a collaboration consisting of researchers in Cambridge, the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, and the University of Oxford.  

I did my previous degree in Psychology at the University of California, Davis.  I've also worked at the UC Davis MIND Institute and the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain.  

I'm interested in many things, but at present, my primary interests are autism spectrum conditions, social neuroscience, the self and its link to social cognition, and the effects of sex steroids on brain development.
