Personal profile

Overview

I am currently working on my PhD in Computer Science under the supervision of Professor Caroline Jay, Professor Andrew Stewart, and Dr. Paul Warren. Following a brief stint on a Medicine degree, I gained a BSc in Psychology followed by an MRes in Psychology under the supervision of Professor Andrew Stewart. 

Research interests

My PhD project explores how we make sense of visualisations, in particular how we percieve correlation from scatterplots. I have also carried out work in explainable AI, and I am further interested in perception, trust, and visualisation design more generally.
