I am a final year PhD in the School of Psychology, College of Science & Engineering. I have graduated BA Hons Illustration from the University of Bedfordshire and BSc Hons Psychology from the University of St Andrews. In between studies and whilst waiting for the PhD funding, I have worked in PR, publishing, and project management. Currently, I am looking into perceptual aspects of Autism and exploring it using Virtual Reality. My PhD is through an Industrial Partnership with Sublime Digital. I am currently working on a number of projects with them alongside the studies.

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Glasgow exploring the links between sensory experience and anxiety using Virtual Reality. I have also used psychometrics to explore the sensory sensitivities of children and heterogeneity of the autistic phenotype within and between cultures.

I am a PhD candidate working with the University of Exeter and Centre for Applied Autism Research to investigate the aetiology of sensorimotor difficulties in autism. Through combining advanced technological methods (e.g., virtual-reality, mobile eye-tracking, motion capture analysis), I am beginning to explore how these difficulties can be managed and/or reduced in future evidence-based practice. I also work for Cineon Immersive Training.

Centre for Applied Autism Research

As an Autism Information Analyst at the National Autistic Society, I assess and gather evidence from scientific research, professional resources and lived experience in order to produce guidance reports on different autism topics. I have previously completed degrees in BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering, MSc Physics and Engineering in Medicine and MSc Psychological Science (conversion). I am particularly interested in research areas of neurodivergence, intersectionality and mental health.

I am a prospective PhD candidate at the University of Glasgow. I completed a BSc (Hons) in Neuropsychology and an MRes in Psychology at the University of Central Lancashire. My PhD project will investigate the perceptual experiences of visual illusions and immersive states within virtual environments, particularly in neurodivergent individuals

I am a final year PhD student in Psychological Sciences at the University of Padua, Italy. I am studying the potential of VR as a research and intervention tool for children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. I am particularly interested in understanding how to use technologies to stimulate multisensory integration, motor planning and sense of agency.
